1 Samuel 2:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ The bows of warriors are shattered,^[a]
    but those who stumble are equipped with^[b] strength.
⁵ Those who had an abundance of bread
    now hire themselves out,
and those who were hungry
    hunger no more.^[c]
While the barren woman gives birth to seven children,^[d]
    she who had many children languishes.

⁶ The Lord kills and gives life,
    he brings people down to where the dead are^[e]
        and he raises them up.
