30 I am the LORD, the God of Israel. I promised to always let your family serve me as priests, but now I tell you that I cannot do this any longer! I honor anyone who honors me, but I put a curse on anyone who hates me.

31 The time will come when I will kill you and everyone else in your family. Not one of you will live to an old age.

32 Your family [8] will have a lot of trouble. I will be kind to Israel, [9] but everyone in your family will die young.
