31. The days are coming soon when I will eliminate both your children and the children of your father’s household. There won’t be an old person left in your family tree.
32. You’ll see trouble in my dwelling place, though all will go well for Israel. But there will never be an old person in your family tree.
33. One of your descendants whom I don’t eliminate from serving at my altar will cry his eyes out and be full of grief. Any descendants in your household will die by the sword.
34. And what happens to your two sons Hophni and Phinehas will be a sign for you: they will both die on the same day.
35. Then I will establish for myself a trustworthy priest who will act in accordance with my thoughts and desires. I will build a trustworthy household for him, and he will serve before my anointed one forever.
36. Anyone left from your household will come and beg him for a bit of silver or a loaf of bread, saying: ‘Please appoint me to some priestly duty so I can have a scrap of bread to eat.’"
