1 Samuel 2:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ He protects those who are loyal to him,
    but evil people will be silenced in darkness.
    Power is not the key to success.
¹⁰ The Lord destroys his enemies;
    he will thunder in heaven against them.
The Lord will judge all the earth.
    He will give power to his king
    and make his appointed king strong.”
