“Therefore I swore an oath to the house of Eli,‘The sin of the house of Eli can never be forgiven by sacrifice or by grain offering.’””
“Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.”
“So 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.”

And the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I am accomplishing a word in Israel. Whoever will hear about it, both his ears will ring.
In that day, I will raise up against Eli all the things that I have spoken over his house. I will begin, and I will finish.
For I have foretold to him that I will judge his house unto eternity, because of iniquity. For he had known that his sons acted shamefully, and he did not chastise them.
For this reason, I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of his house will not be expiated, with victims or with gifts, even forever.”
Then Samuel slept until morning, and he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
Then Eli called Samuel, and he said, “Samuel, my son?” And responding, he said, “I am here.”
And he questioned him: “What is the word that the Lord has spoken to you? I beg you that you may not conceal it from me. May God do these things to you, and may he add these other things, if you hide from me one word out of all the things that were told to you.”
