Jehovah makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and He set the world upon them.

and he said: Naked I have come from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah has given, and Jehovah has taken away; blessed is the name of Jehovah.

You renew Your witnesses against me, and increase Your indignation toward me; changes and war are with me.

For You write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

You have seized me as a witness; my deception rises up against me and testifies to my face.

And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who defraud the hired laborer of his pay, and turn away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien; and who do not fear Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.
