3 No multipliquéis hablando grandezas, altanerías; cesen las palabras arrogantes de vuestra boca; porque el Dios de todo saber es Jehová, y á él toca el pesar las acciones.
4 Los arcos de los fuertes fueron quebrados, y los flacos se ciñeron de fortaleza.
5 Los hartos se alquilaron por pan: y cesaron los hambrientos: hasta parir siete la estéril, y la que tenía muchos hijos enfermó.
6 Jehová mata, y él da vida: él hace descender al sepulcro, y hace subir.
7 Jehová empobrece, y él enriquece: abate, y ensalza.
