1 Samuel 2:6-8

“The LORD sends death, and he brings to life. He sends people to the grave, and he raises them to life again. The LORD makes some people poor, and others he makes rich. He makes some people humble, and others he makes great. The LORD raises the poor up from the dust, and he lifts the needy from the ashes. He lets the poor sit with princes and receive a throne of honor. “The foundations of the earth belong to the LORD, and the LORD set the world upon them.
