10. The Lord came and stood, and He called as at other times, “Samuel, Samuel.”Then Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant listens.”
11. The Lord said to Samuel, “See, I am doing something in Israel which will make both ears ring of every one that hears it.
12. In that day I will bring about against Eli everything which I have spoken with regard to his house, from beginning to end.
13. For I told him that I will judge his house forever, for the guilt which he knew, because his sons are cursed, and he did not rebuke them.
14. Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice nor offering forever.”
15. Samuel lay until the morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. Now Samuel feared to report the vision to Eli.
16. Then Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son.”And he answered, “Here I am.”
17. He said, “What is the thing that the Lord has spoken to you? Do not hide it from me. Thus may God do so to you, and more also, if you hide from me a word out of all the things that He spoke to you.”
18. Samuel told him everything, and did not hide from him a thing. And he said, “It is the Lord; let Him do what is good in His eyes.”
