1 Samuel 2:6-8

ISV(i) 6 The LORD kills and gives life, he brings people down to where the dead are and he raises them up. 7 The LORD makes people poor and he makes people rich, he brings them low, and he also exalts them. 8 He raises the poor up from the dust, he lifts up the needy from the trash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. Indeed the pillars of the earth belong to the LORD, and he has set the world on them.
