1 Samuel 2:4-6
Good News Translation

4 The bows of strong soldiers are broken,
    but the weak grow strong.
5 The people who once were well fed
    now hire themselves out to get food,
    but the hungry are hungry no more.
The childless wife has borne seven children,
    but the mother of many is left with none.
6 (A)The Lord kills and restores to life;
    he sends people to the world of the dead
    and brings them back again.
