1 Samuel 2:3-5

Modern English Version

³ “Do not multiply proud speech,
    nor let arrogance come out of your mouth,
for the Lord is the God of knowledge,
    and by Him actions are examined.

⁴ “The bows of the mighty are broken,
    but those who stumbled are girded with strength.
⁵ Those that were full have hired out themselves for bread,
    and those that were hungry ceased to hunger.
Even the barren has borne seven,
    and she that has many children wastes away.
