1 Samuel 2:3-9

3Do not go on 1boastingH1696H7235 so veryH1364 proudlyH1364, 2Do not let arroganceH6277 comeH3318 outH3318 of your mouthH6310; 3For the LordH3068 is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844, 4And 5with Him actionsH5949 are weighedH8505.46The bowsH7198 of the mightyH1368 are brokenH2844 toH2844 piecesH2844, 7But those who have stumbledH3782 strapH247 onH247 strengthH2428.5Those who were fullH7649 hireH7936 themselves outH7936 for breadH3899, But those who were hungryH7457 ceaseH2308 to be hungry. 8EvenH5704 the infertileH6135 womanH6135 givesH3205 birthH3205 to sevenH7651, But 9she who has manyH7227 childrenH1121 languishesH535.610The LordH3068 putsH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 and makesH2421 aliveH2421; 11He bringsH3381 downH3381 to 12SheolH7585 and bringsH5927 upH5927.713The LordH3068 makesH3423 poorH3423 and richH6238; 14He humblesH8213, He alsoH637 exaltsH7311.815He raisesH6965 the poorH1800 from the dustH6083, 16He liftsH7311 the needyH34 from the garbageH830 heapH6083 17To seatH3427 them with noblesH5081, And He givesH5157 them a seatH3678 of honorH3519 asH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157; 18For the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the Lord’sH3068, And He setH7896 the worldH8398 on them.919He watchesH8104 overH8104 the feetH7272 of His godlyH2623 onesH2623, 20But the wickedH7563 onesH7563 areH1826 silencedH1826 in darknessH2822; 21For not by mightH3581 shall a personH376 prevailH1396.
