1 Samuel 2:3-9

3Do not multiply your words of pride, let not vain-glory come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a 1God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

4The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are [so] no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

7Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich, he bringeth low, also he lifteth up:

8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set [him] among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them.

9He keepeth the feet of his saints, but the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
