Verse 25
1 Samuel 2:25
Bible in Basic English
25
If one man does wrong to another, God (Elohim) will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.

English Translation
If a man sins against a man and prays to God, and if a man sins against Yahweh, who will pray for him? They will not listen to the voice of their fathers, for Yahweh desires to put them to death.
