1 Samuel 2:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

4 Os arcos dos fortes foram quebrados, E os fracos se cingiram de força.

5 Os fartos se alugaram por pão: E cessaram os famintos; até a estéril deu à luz sete, e a que tinha muitos filhos se enfraqueceu.

6 O SENHOR mata e dá vida; ele faz descer ao Xeol, e faz [de lá] subir.

7 O SENHOR empobrece e enriquece; abate e exalta.

8 Ele levanta do pó ao pobre, e ao necessitado ergue do esterco, para assentá-lo com os príncipes; e faz que tenham por propriedade assento de honra; porque do SENHOR são os alicerces da terra, e assentou o mundo sobre eles.
