1 Samuel 2:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ “Don’t keep talking so proudly.
    Don’t let your mouth say such proud things.
The Lord is a God who knows everything.
    He judges everything people do.

⁴ “The bows of great heroes are broken.
    But those who trip and fall are made strong.
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.
