if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, Yahweh; for your servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 003:010 Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for your servant hears. 003:011 Yahweh said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle. 003:012 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end. 003:013 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse on themselves, and he didn't restrain them. 003:014 Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever. 003:015 Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh.
