1 Samuel 2:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 [a]Do not talk so proudly
nor let arrogance come forth from your mouth,
for the Lord is a knowing God,
and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken,
the feeble are clothed in strength.
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for bread,
and the hungry cease to hunger.
The barren has borne seven times,
while she who has many children grows faint.
Footnotes
- 1 Samuel 2:3 Hannah had no need to remonstrate with those (i.e., Peninnah) who had shown her disrespect because she knew God as the supreme judge and trusted in his divine justice.
