10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”

11 Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I will do something in Israel ^aat which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.  ‡

13 ^aFor I have told him that I will ^bjudge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because ^chis sons made themselves vile, and he ^ddid not restrain them.  ‡

14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house ^ashall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”  ‡
