1 Samuel 2:7
King James VersionSource notes
“The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.”
Context
4The bows of the mighty men broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5full have hired out themselves for bread; and hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
