1 Samuel 2:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
4 The bows of the mighty are broken,
    but the feeble gird on strength.^(B)
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
    but those who were hungry are fat with spoil.
The barren has borne seven,
    but she who has many children is forlorn.^(C)
