⁷ The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;

⁷ But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

¹¹ Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;

¹⁷ Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

¹⁸ But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.

²¹ With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

¹⁰ Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

¹⁰ Because of your passion and your wrath, for I have been lifted up and then made low by you.

¹² For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;

⁹ But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

¹⁰ But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.
