1 Samuel 2:5-7
Lexham English Bible

5 Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread,
    but those who are hungry will become fat.
As for the infertile, she will bear seven,
    but she who has many sons withers away.
6 Yahweh kills and restores alive,
    he brings down to Sheol[a] and raises up.
7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich;
    he brings low and also exalts.
