1 Samuel 2:9 in context

  1. 7Yahweh makes poor and makes rich.
    He brings low, he also lifts up.
  2. 8He raises up the poor out of the dust.
    He lifts up the needy from the dunghill
    to make them sit with princes
    and inherit the throne of glory.
    For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s.
    He has set the world on them.
  3. 9He will keep the feet of his holy ones,
    but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness;
    for no man will prevail by strength.
  4. 10Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces.
    He will thunder against them in the sky.
    “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth.
    He will give strength to his king,
    and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
  5. 11Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served Yahweh before Eli the priest.
