1 Samuel 2:4-9
41The bowsH7198 of the mightyH1368 are shatteredH2844, 2But the feebleH3782 girdH247 on strengthH2428.5Those who were fullH7649 hireH7936 themselves out for breadH3899, But those who were hungryH7457 ceaseH2308 to hunger. 3EvenH5704 the barrenH6135 givesH3205 birthH3205 to sevenH7651, But 4she who has manyH7227 childrenH1121 languishesH535.65The LordH3068 killsH4191 and makesH2421 aliveH2421; 6He bringsH3381 downH3381 to 7SheolH7585 and raisesH5927 up.78The LordH3068 makesH3423 poorH3423 and richH6238; 9He bringsH8213 lowH8213, He alsoH637 exaltsH7311.810He raisesH6965 the poorH1800 from the dustH6083, 11He liftsH7311 the needyH34 from the ashH830 heapH6083 12To make them sitH3427 with noblesH5081, And inheritH5157 a seatH3678 of honorH3519; 13For the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the Lord’sH3068, And He setH7896 the worldH8398 on them.914He keepsH8104 the feetH7272 of His godlyH2623 onesH2623, 15But the wickedH7563 onesH7563 are silencedH1826 in darknessH2822; 16For not by mightH3581 shall a manH376 prevailH1396.
