1 Samuel 2:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 2
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.
9 El guarda los pies de sus santos, mas los impíos perecen en tinieblas; porque nadie será fuerte por [su] fuerza.
10 Delante de Jehová serán quebrantados sus adversarios, y sobre ellos tronará desde los cielos: Jehová juzgará los términos de la tierra, y dará fortaleza á su Rey, y ensalzará el cuerno de su Mesías.
