The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts.

The LORD makes some poor and others rich; he brings some down and lifts others up.

The LORD brings poverty and gives wealth;  he humbles and he exalts.

The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up.

The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.

GOD brings death and GOD brings life, brings down to the grave and raises up. GOD brings poverty and GOD brings wealth; he lowers, he also lifts up. He puts poor people on their feet again; he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope, Restoring dignity and respect to their lives— a place in the sun! For the very structures of earth are GOD’s; he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation. He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step, but leaves the wicked to stumble in the dark. No one makes it in this life by sheer muscle! GOD’s enemies will be blasted out of the sky, crashed in a heap and burned. GOD will set things right all over the earth, he’ll give strength to his king, he’ll set his anointed on top of the world!

“The LORD makes poor and rich; He humbles, He also exalts.

“The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up.

The LORD impoverishes and makes wealthy; he humbles and he exalts.
