1 Kings 3:10-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.

11. And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.

12. In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.

13. For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.

14. Therefore have I sworn to the house of Hell, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.

15. And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Hell.

16. Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.

17. And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.

18. So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.

19. And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.

20. And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.

21. And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
