Eli’s Worthless Sons
12 Now the sons of Eli xwere yworthless men. They zdid not know the Lord.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,
such is the place of him who lknows not God.”
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
Those who handle the law did not jknow me;
the kshepherds1 transgressed against me;
the prophets lprophesied by Baal
and went after mthings that do not profit.
22 “For my people are foolish;
they vknow me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not.”
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
25 tPour out your wrath uon the nations that know you not,
and on the peoples that call not on your name,
vfor they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him and consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.
19 They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me vnor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 nFormerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are onot gods.
5 not in the passion of hlust ilike the Gentiles who jdo not know God;
16 hThey profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.
