1 Samuel 2:5 Context
3Talke no more so exceeding proudly, let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4The vowes of the mightie men are broken, and they that stumbled are girt with strength. 5They that were full, haue hired out themselues for bread: and they that were hungry, ceased: so that the barren hath borne seuen, and she that hath many children, is waxed feeble. 6The Lord killeth and maketh aliue, he bringeth downe to the graue, and bringeth vp. 7The Lord maketh poore, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth vp.
