1 Samuel 2:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low and also exalts.
8 He raises up the poor from the dust.
From the ash heap he lifts up the needy,
to cause them to sit with noble people
and to cause them to inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth belong to Yahweh
and he has set the inhabited world on them.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful[a] ones,
but the wicked will be destroyed[b] in the darkness,
because a man will not prevail by his might.
