In context

5Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

6“The LORD kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

7The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

8He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them.

9He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.
