1 Samuel 2:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

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.

8 El levanta del polvo al pobre, y al menesteroso ensalza del estiércol, para asentarlo con los príncipes; y hace que tengan por heredad asiento de honra: porque de Jehová son las columnas de la tierra, y él asentó sobre ellas el mundo.
