3. “Do not multiply proud speech,nor let arrogance come out of your mouth,for the Lord is the God of knowledge,and by Him actions are examined.
4. “The bows of the mighty are broken,but those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5. Those that were full have hired out themselves for bread,and those that were hungry ceased to hunger.Even the barren has borne seven,and she that has many children wastes away.
6. “The Lord kills and makes alive;He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7. The Lord makes poor and makes rich;He brings low and lifts up.
8. He raises up the poor out of the dustand lifts up the oppressed from the dunghillto make them sit with princesand inherit a throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth belong to the Lord,and He has set the world upon them.
