1 Samuel 2:8-12
New International Version
8 He raises(A) the poor(B) from the dust(C)
and lifts the needy(D) from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.(E)
“For the foundations(F) of the earth are the Lord’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet(G) of his faithful servants,(H)
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.(I)
“It is not by strength(J) that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the Lord will be broken.(K)
The Most High will thunder(L) from heaven;
the Lord will judge(M) the ends of the earth.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah,(P) but the boy ministered(Q) before the Lord under Eli the priest.
Eli’s Wicked Sons
12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard(R) for the Lord.
