3. Talk no more so very proudly; let not arrogance go forth from your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
4. The bows of the mighty are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children languishes and is forlorn.
6. The Lord slays and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up.
8. He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with nobles and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and He has set the world upon them.
