They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness.

Then Elkanah returned home to Ramah without Samuel. And the boy served the Lord by assisting Eli the priest.Now the sons of Eli were scoundrels who had no respect for the Lordor for their duties as priests. Whenever anyone offered a sacrifice, Eli’s sons would send over a servant with a three pronged fork. While the meat of the sacrificed animal was still boiling,the servant would stick the fork into the pot and demand that whatever it brought up be given to Eli’s sons. All the Israelites who came to worship at Shiloh were treated this way.Sometimes the servant would come even before the animal’s fat had been burned on the altar. He would demand raw meat before it had been boiled so that it could be used for roasting.The man offering the sacrifice might reply,“ Take as much as you want, but the fat must be burned first.” Then the servant would demand,“ No, give it to me now, or I’ll take it by force.”
