1 Samuel 2:4-8

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

4“The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces,
But those who have stumbled strap on strength.
5“Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to be hungry.
Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven,
But she who has many children languishes.
6“The Lord puts to death and makes alive;
He brings down to Sheol and brings up.
7“The Lord makes poor and rich;
He humbles, He also exalts.
8“He raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the garbage heap
To seat them with nobles,
And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance;
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.
