1 Samuel 2:23-25
1 Samuel 2: 23 to 25
23 and he saith to them, ‘Why do ye things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people — these!
24 Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of JEHOVAH to transgress. —
25 If a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against JEHOVAH a man sin, who doth pray for him?’ and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though JEHOVAH hath delighted to put them to death.
