1 Kings 2:3-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared.

4. The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt with strength.

5. They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened.

6. The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again.

7. The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth.
