Eli Tries to Correct His Sons

22 ΒΆ Now Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and how they lay with the women that assembled at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation

23 And he said vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for I heare of your euil dealings, by all this people.

24 Nay my sonnes: for it is no good report that I heare; yee make the Lords people to transgresse.

25 If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge him: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not vnto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
