And those filled with bread hired themselves out; and they hungering, ceased till the barren shall bring forth seven; and she multiplying sons languished. Jehovah killing and giving life; bringing down to hades and bringing up. Jehovah dispossessing, and enriching: making low, but lifting up. Raising up the weak from the dust, he will raise up the needy from the dung-hill to sit with the noble, and he will cause them to inherit a throne of glory, for to Jehovah the castings of the earth, and he will put the habitable globe upon them. He will watch the feet of the merciful and the unjust shall be silent in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail. Jehovah, they contending against him, shall be broken; in the heavens he will break them in pieces: Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and he will lift up the horn of his Messiah.
