1 Samuel

1 Samuel 2:2–4

²There is no one holy like the LORD.

Indeed, there is no one besides You!

And there is no Rock like our God.

³Do not boast so proudly,

or let arrogance come from your mouth,

for the LORD is a God who knows,

and by Him actions are weighed.

⁴The bows of the mighty are broken,

but the feeble are equipped with strength.
