1 SAMUEL 2:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.”
Then in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed upon Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever—*vetsar*, the pain of seeing blessing withheld while others flourish, will be Eli's family's lot. The permanent diminishment (*olam*, forever) is emphasized.
