1 Samuel 2:28-30

Lexham English Bible

²⁸ And I chose him from all the tribes of Israel to be a priest to me, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to bear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor^[a] all the offerings made by fire by the Israelites.^{[b] 29} Why do you despise my sacrifice and my offering which I commanded for my dwelling place, while you honored your sons more than me by making yourselves fat from the best of all the offerings of my people Israel? ³⁰ Therefore,’ declares^[c] Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘though I solemnly said that your house and the house of your ancestor^[d] would walk before me forever, but now,’ declares^[e] Yahweh, ‘far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me, I will treat with contempt!
