ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨:૨૯
ત્યારે, શા માટે, મારાં જે બલિદાનો અને અર્પણો કરવાની મેં તને આજ્ઞા આપી છે તેનો તિરસ્કાર કરીને જ્યાં હું રહું છું ત્યાં મારા ઇઝરાયલ લોકોનાં સર્વ ઉત્તમ અર્પણોથી પુષ્ટ બનીને તું મારા કરતાં તારા પોતાના દીકરાઓનું માન વધારે કેમ રાખે છે?’
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २:२९
इसलिए मेरे मेलबलि और अन्नबलि को जिनको मैंने अपने धाम में चढ़ाने की आज्ञा दी है, उन्हें तुम लोग क्यों पाँव तले रौंदते हो? और तू क्यों अपने पुत्रों का मुझसे अधिक आदर करता है, कि तुम लोग मेरी इस्राएली प्रजा की अच्छी से अच्छी भेंट खा खाके मोटे हो जाओ?

In context

27A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?

28Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

29Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’

30“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.

31Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.
