“ Therefore, the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.The time is coming when I will put an end to your family, so it will no longer serve as my priests. All the members of your family will die before their time. None will reach old age.You will watch with envy as I pour out prosperity on the people of Israel. But no members of your family will ever live out their days.The few not cut off from serving at my altar will survive, but only so their eyes can go blind and their hearts break, and their children will die a violent death.And to prove that what I have said will come true, I will cause your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day!“ Then I will raise up a faithful priest who will serve me and do what I desire. I will establish his family, and they will be priests to my anointed kings forever.Then all of your surviving family will bow before him, begging for money and food.‘ Please,’ they will say,‘ give us jobs among the priests so we will have enough to eat.’”
