Eli Rebukes His Evil Sons

23 So he said to them: Why do you do such things? I hear of your evil dealings by all the people. 24 No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hear the Lord’s people circulating. 25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him. But if a man sins against Jehovah, who will intercede for him? But his sons did not listen to the voice of their father. Jehovah desired to put them to death.
