1 Samuel 2:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Stop your loud boasting;
    silence your proud words.
For the Lord is a God who knows,
    and he judges all that people do.
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.
