10Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel made answer, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open.
11And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.
12In that day I will do to Eli everything which I have said about his family, from first to last.
13And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.
14So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.
15And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.
16Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.
