1 Samuel 2:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumble are armed with strength.
⁵ Those who were well-fed hire themselves out for a piece of bread,
but those who were hungry hunger no more.
Even the woman who was childless gives birth to seven children,
but the mother of many children grieves all alone.

⁶ “The Lord kills, and he gives life.
He makes ⌞people⌟ go down to the grave, and he raises them up ⌞again⌟.
