ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨:૩૦
માટે પ્રભુ, ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વર, કહે છે, ‘મેં વચન આપ્યું હતું કે તારું ઘર અને તારા પિતૃઓનું ઘર, સદા મારી સમક્ષ ચાલશે.’ પણ હવે ઈશ્વર કહે છે, ‘હું આવું કરીશ નહિ, કેમ કે જેઓ મને માન આપે છે તેઓને હું પણ માન આપીશ, પણ જેઓ મને તુચ્છકારે છે તેઓ હલકા ગણાશે.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २:३०
इसलिए इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा की यह वाणी है, कि मैंने कहा तो था, कि तेरा घराना और तेरे मूलपुरुष का घराना मेरे सामने सदैव चला करेगा; परन्तु अब यहोवा की वाणी यह है, कि यह बात मुझसे दूर हो; क्योंकि जो मेरा आदर करें मैं उनका आदर करूँगा, और जो मुझे तुच्छ जानें वे छोटे समझे जाएँगे।

In context

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.

32You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.
