1 Samuel 2:2-10 ESV "There is none holy like the LORD; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. (3) Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. (4) The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength. (5) Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. (6) The LORD kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. (7) The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. (8) He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and on them he has set the world. (9) "He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. (10) The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the power of his anointed."
1 Samuel 2:2-10 LITV None is holy like Jehovah, for there is none except You; yea, there is no rock like our God. (3) Do not multiply your haughty words; let not arrogance go out from your mouth; for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. (4) Bows of the mighty are broken; and they that stumble gird on strength. (5) They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry have ceased, while the barren has borne seven; yea, she who had many sons has languished. (6) Jehovah kills and keeps alive; He brings down and causes to go to Sheol. (7) Jehovah brings down, and He gives riches; He brings low; yea, He lifts up high. (8) He raises the poor from the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to cause them to sit with nobles; yea, He causes them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah are the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them. (9) He keeps the feet of His saints, and the wicked are silenced in darkness; for man does not become mighty by power. (10) They who strive with Jehovah will be smashed; He thunders in the heavens against him. Jehovah judges the ends of the earth and gives strength to His king; and He exalts the horn of His anointed.
1 Samuel 2:2-10 CEV No other god is like you. We're safer with you than on a high mountain. (3) I can tell those proud people, "Stop your boasting! Nothing is hidden from the< a href="../DoesGodHaveAName.html">LORD, and he judges what we do." (4) Our LORD, you break the bows of warriors, but you give strength to everyone who stumbles. (5) People who once had plenty to eat must now hire themselves out for only a piece of bread. But you give the hungry more than enough to eat. A woman did not have a child, and you gave her seven, but a woman who had many was left with none. (6) You take away life, and you give life. You send people down to the world of the dead and bring them back again. (7) Our LORD, you are the one who makes us rich or poor. You put some in high positions and bring disgrace on others. (8) You lift the poor and homeless out of the garbage dump and give them places of honor in royal palaces. You set the world on foundations, and they belong to you. (9) You protect your loyal people, but everyone who is evil will die in darkness. We cannot win a victory by our own strength. (10) Our LORD, those who attack you will be broken in pieces when you fight back with thunder from heaven. You will judge the whole earth and give power and strength to your chosen king.
1 Samuel 2:2-10 ASV There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock like our God. (3) Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed. (4) The bows of the mighty men are broken; And they that stumbled are girded with strength. (5) They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; And they that were hungry have ceased to hunger: Yea, the barren hath borne seven; And she that hath many children languisheth. (6) Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. (7) Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up. (8) He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, And he hath set the world upon them. (9) He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail. (10) They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; Against them will he thunder in heaven: Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; And he will give strength unto his king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.
