12 Eli’s sons were worthless men who didn’t have any time for the Lord
22 Eli was very old, however he had heard about all the things his sons were doing to the people of Israel, and how they were seducing the women who were serving at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 23 He asked them, "Why are you doing all this? I keep on hearing from everyone about your evil actions. 24 No, my sons, the report I hear about you from the Lord’s people isn’t good. 25 If a man sins against someone, God can intercede for him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who is going to intercede for him?" But they didn’t pay attention to what their father said, for the Lord was planning to put them to death.
29 So why have you treated with contempt my sacrifices and offerings that I have ordered for my place of worship? You honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves with the best parts of all the offerings from my people Israel.
