6 The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and raises up.
7 The Lord impoverishes and makes rich. He humbles; He also exalts.
8 He lifts the poor from the dust; From the dunghill, He raises the pauper, To seat them with princes, And a seat of honor He causes them to inherit, For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He placed the world upon them.
9 The feet of His pious ones He will guard, And the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, For not by strength will man prevail.

11 And Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house, and the child was serving the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 And Eli’s sons, unscrupulous men, knew not the Lord.
13 And this was the due of the priests from the people: (whenever) any man would slaughter a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come when (one) cooked the flesh, with a three-pronged fork in his hand.
14 And he would thrust into the fire-pot, or into the pot, or into the cauldron, or into the pan, everything which the fork would pick up, the priest would take therewith; so would they do to all Israel who came there in Shiloh.
15 Also, before they would make the fat smoke, and the servant of the priest would come, and would say to the man who slaughtered, ‘Give meat to roast for the priest, and he will not take from you cooked meat, but raw.
16 And (if) the man said to him, ‘Let them make the fat smoke now, and (then) take for yourself, as your soul desires,’ And he would say, ‘No, but now you shall give. And if not, I shall take by force.’
17 And the sin of the lads was great before the Lord, for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
18 And Samuel was serving before the Lord, being a lad girded with a linen robe.
19 And a small robe his mother would make for him, and she would bring it up to him from appointed time to appointed time, when she ascended with her husband, to slaughter the sacrifice of the (festive) days.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say, “May the Lord grant you seed from this woman,” because of the request which he had requested of the Lord, and they would go to his place.
21 For the Lord remembered Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up with the Lord.
22 Now, Eli had become very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they would lie with the women who congregated at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
23 And he said to them: “Why do you do the likes of these things, for I hear evil reports about you, from all these people.
24 No, my sons, for the rumor which I hear the Lord’s people spreading, is not good.
25 If man will sin to man, the judge will judge him. If, however, he will sin against God, who will intercede in the judgment in his behalf?” But they would not hearken to their father’s voice, for the Lord desired to kill them.
26 And the lad, Samuel, was growing up, and bettering himself both with the Lord and with people.
27 And a man of God came to Eli, and he said to him: “So said the Lord: ‘Did I appear to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt, (enslaved) to the house of Pharaoh?
28 And did I choose him from all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer up (sacrifices) on My altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me? And did I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
29 Why (then,) do you kick at My sacrifice, and at My meal offering which I commanded in My dwelling place, and you honored your sons above Me, before My people, to feed yourselves from the first part of every offering of Israel?
30 Therefore,” says the Lord, God of Israel, “I said, ‘Your house and the house of your father will walk before Me forever,’ but now, says the Lord: Far be it from Me, for those who honor Me shall I honor, and those who despise Me will be disgraced.
31 Behold days are coming when I shall cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there shall not be an elder in your household.
32 And you will look upon a rival (in My) dwelling place in all (the days) which (God) will do good to Israel, and there will not be an elder in your household all of the days.
33 Yet every man of yours shall I not cut off from My altar, to disappoint you and to sadden your heart; and all those raised in your house will die as young men.
34 And this is the sign to you, that which will befall your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas; in one day both of them will die.
35 And I shall raise up for Myself a faithful priest, who will do as is in My heart and in My mind, and I shall build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed all of the days.
36 And it will be that everyone who is left in your house, will come to prostrate himself before him for a silver piece and a morsel of bread, and will say, “Take me now into one of the priestly divisions in order to eat a morsel of bread.”

Verse 2 Keep An Eye – None As Holy And None Besides You

Unconsciously you are arrogant.

In what way? You might ask.

*Knowing the Jesus and the Trinity or Triune G-d or 3-in-1 G-d is false! Yet you continue and insist.

Your deeds are being taken into account; worst with those who teach and spread them!
