1 Samuel 2:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ People who once
    had plenty to eat
must now hire themselves out
    for only a piece of bread.
But you give the hungry more
    than enough to eat.
A woman did not have a child,
    and you gave her seven,
but a woman who had many
    was left with none.
^6 (A) You take away life,
    and you give life.
You send people down
to the world of the dead
    and bring them back again.
