1 Samuel 2:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
In context
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
6 The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
9 He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.
