Those who were filled full now sell themselves for bread,
    but the ones who were starving are now fat from food!
    The woman who was barren has birthed seven children,
        but the mother with many sons has lost them all!

        takes down to the grave,[a] and raises up!
The Lord!
He makes poor, gives wealth,
    brings low, but also lifts up high!
