1 Samuel 2:15-17
Living Bible

16 If the man offering the sacrifice replied, “Take as much as you want, but the fat must first be burned as the law requires,[a]” then the servant would say, “No, give it to me now or I’ll take it by force.”
17 So the sin of these young men was very great in the eyes of the Lord; for they treated the people’s offerings to the Lord with contempt.
