1 Samuel 2:16-18
Jubilee Bible 2000
16 And if the man would say unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat today and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would answer him, No, but thou shalt give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Therefore, the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men despised the present of the LORD.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
