• 1 Samuel 2:31-34
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    • 31 Look! Days are coming when I will cut off your strength* and that of your father’s house, so that no man in your house will live to old age.+ 32 And you will look upon a rival in my dwelling amid all the good that is done to Israel,+ and never again will there be an old man in your house. 33 The man of yours whom I do not cut off from serving at my altar will cause your eyes to fail and will bring you grief,* but the greater number of your house will die by the sword of men.+ 34 And what happens to your two sons, Hophʹni and Phinʹe·has, will be the sign for you: On one day both of them will die.+

  • Isaiah 55:10, 11
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    • 10 For just as the rain and the snow pour down from heaven

      And do not return there until they saturate the earth, making it produce and sprout,

      Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

      11 So my word that goes out of my mouth will be.*+

      It will not return to me without results,+

      But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight,*+

      And it will have sure success in what I send it to do.
