1 Samuel 2:5-7
New International Reader's Version

5 Those who used to be full have to work for food.
    But those who used to be hungry aren’t hungry anymore.
The woman who couldn’t have children has seven of them now.
    But the woman who has had many children is sad now because hers have died.

6 “The Lord causes people to die. He also gives people life.
    He brings people down to the grave. He also brings people up from death.
7 The Lord makes people poor. He also makes people rich.
    He brings people down. He also lifts people up.
