Eli rebukes his sons

22Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they were lying with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

23And he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear from all these people about your evil deeds.”

24No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good. You are making Yahweh’s people transgress.

25If a man sins against another man, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will pray for him? But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh desired to put them to death.
