²¹ I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty; why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

²¹ He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."

⁷ Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up.

⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's, He has set the world on them.

¹⁷ You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.

²⁶ For you write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:

⁸ You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.

⁵ I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.
