1 Samuel 2:4-7

4 ^aThe bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble bind on strength.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
^bThe barren has borne seven,
^cbut she who has many children is forlorn.
6 ^dThe Lord kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7 ^eThe Lord makes poor and makes rich;
^fhe brings low and he exalts.
