1 Samuel 2:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31 The time will come when I will kill you and everyone else in your family. Not one of you will live to an old age.
32 Your family[a] will have a lot of trouble. I will be kind to Israel,[b] but everyone in your family will die young. 33 If I let anyone from your family be a priest, his[c] life will be full of sadness and sorrow. But most of the men in your family will die a violent death![d]
