1 Samuel 2:6-8
International Standard Version
1 Samuel 2:6-8
International Standard Version
6 The Lord kills and gives life,
he brings people down to where the dead are[a]
and he raises them up.
7 The Lord makes people poor
and he makes people rich,
he brings them low,
and he also exalts them.
8 He raises the poor up from the dust,
he lifts up the needy from the trash heap
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
Indeed the pillars of the earth belong to the Lord,
and he has set the world on them.
