1 Samuel 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
1 Samuel 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 Our Lord, you break
the bows of warriors,
but you give strength
to everyone who stumbles.
5 People who once
had plenty to eat
must now hire themselves out
for only a piece of bread.
But you give the hungry more
than enough to eat.
A woman did not have a child,
and you gave her seven,
but a woman who had many
was left with none.
6 (A) You take away life,
and you give life.
You send people down
to the world of the dead
and bring them back again.
