1 Samuel 2:5-7
Modern English Version

5 Those that were full have hired out themselves for bread,
    and those that were hungry ceased to hunger.
Even the barren has borne seven,
    and she that has many children wastes away.

6 “The Lord kills and makes alive;
    He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
    He brings low and lifts up.
