Do not go on [a]boasting so very proudly,
(A)Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
(B)For the Lord is a God of knowledge,
(C)And [b]with Him actions are weighed.
(D)The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces,
(E)But those who have stumbled strap on strength.
Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to be hungry.
(F)Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven,
But (G)she who has many children languishes.
