1 Samuel 2:23-25

American Standard Version

²³ And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people. ²⁴ Nay, my sons; for it is no good report ^[a]that I hear: ye make Jehovah’s people to transgress. ²⁵ If one man sin against another, ^[b]God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them.
