1 Samuel 2:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
“The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
He brings low and He lifts up.
⁸ 
“He raises up the poor from the dust,
He lifts up the needy from the ash heap
To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor and glory;
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the land on them.
⁹ 
“He guards the feet of His godly (faithful) ones,
But the wicked ones are silenced and perish in darkness;
For a man shall not prevail by might.
