³⁵ Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

¹⁰ No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

²⁶ And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

⁴ And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

²¹ When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.

¹² In that day I will do to Eli everything which I have said about his family, from first to last.

¹³ And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

¹⁴ So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.

³⁴ And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

³³ The curse of the Lord is on the house of the evil-doer, but his blessing is on the tent of the upright.
