12
There are others who are slow and need help, who lack strength and abound in poverty; but the eyes of the Lord look kindly upon them; he lifts them out of their lowly condition
13
and raises up their heads to the amazement of the many.
14
Good things and bad, life and death, poverty and wealth, come from the Lord.
