1 Samuel 1:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

When the Israelites heard this, the entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.

How long will you go on saying these things?
Your words are a blast of wind.

How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attack
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering stone fence?

How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?
When will you get up from your sleep?

“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.

if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,
and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—

If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed.
If you banish injustice from your tent

Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,

because we are members of one another.
