Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread; Those who were hungry have ceased [to hunger]: Yes, the barren has borne seven; She who has many children languishes.
6 Yahweh kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.
7 Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh`s, He has set the world on them.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.
10 Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces; Against them will he thunder in the sky: Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; He will give strength to his king, Exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child did minister to Yahweh before Eli the priest.
