4 The bows of strong soldiers break, and weak people become strong.

5 People who had plenty of food in the past must now work to get food. But those who were hungry in the past now grow fat on food. The woman who was not able to have children now has seven children. But the woman who had many children is sad because her children are gone.

6 The LORD causes people to die, and he causes them to live. He sends people down to the grave, and he can raise them up to live again.
