1 Samuel 2:10–17

¹⁰They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; in the heavens will he thunder upon them. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹¹And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the boy ministered to Jehovah in the presence of Eli the priest. ¹²Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not Jehovah. ¹³And the priests’ custom with the people was, when any man sacrificed a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, when the flesh was cooked, with a flesh-hook of three prongs in his hand; ¹⁴and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; the priest took of it all that the flesh-hook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there. ¹⁵Even before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he will not accept sodden flesh of thee, but raw. ¹⁶If the man said to him, They will immediately burn the fat entire, then take as thy soul desires; he would say to him, No, but thou shalt give it now; and if not, I will take it by force. ¹⁷And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for men despised the offering of Jehovah.
