1 Samuel 2:30Christian Standard Bible Anglicised‘Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel: “I did say that your family and your forefather’s family would walk before me for ever. But now,” this is the Lord’s declaration, “no longer! For those who honour me I will honour, but those who despise me will be disgraced. See the chapter |
this is what the Lord says: I am about to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. There will not be even one of his descendants living among these people, nor will any ever see the good that I will bring to my people #– #this is the Lord’s declaration #– #for he has preached rebellion against the Lord.” ’
They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, ‘Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the Lord #– #only the consecrated priests, the descendants of Aaron, have the right to offer incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully! You will not receive honour from the Lord God.’
