1 Samuel 2:4


1 Samuel 2:3 1 Samuel 2:4 (KJV) 1 Samuel 2:5
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
[They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
