1 Samuel 2:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

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.

9 Ele guarda os pés de seus santos, Mas os ímpios perecem em trevas; Porque ninguém será forte por sua força.

10 Diante do SENHOR serão quebrantados seus adversários, E sobre eles trovejará desde os céus: o SENHOR julgará os termos da terra, E dará força a seu Rei, E exaltará o poder de seu ungido.

11 E Elcana se voltou a sua casa em Ramá; e o menino ministrava ao SENHOR diante do sacerdote Eli.
