6. And again, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. And rising up, Samuel went to Eli, and he said: "Here I am. For you called me." And he responded: "I did not call you, my son. Return and sleep."
7. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.
8. And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. And rising up, he went to Eli.
9. And he said: "Here I am. For you called me." Then Eli understood that the Lord had called the boy. And he said to Samuel: "Go and sleep. And if he calls to you from now on, you will say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.' " Therefore, Samuel went away, and he slept in his place.
10. And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, just as he had called the other times, "Samuel, Samuel." And Samuel said, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."
11. And the Lord said to Samuel: "Behold, I am accomplishing a word in Israel. Whoever will hear about it, both his ears will ring.
12. In that day, I will raise up against Eli all the things that I have spoken over his house. I will begin, and I will finish.
13. For I have foretold to him that I will judge his house unto eternity, because of iniquity. For he had known that his sons acted shamefully, and he did not chastise them.
