1 Sam. 2:4      1 Sam. 2:6

First Samuel 2:5

Those who were full must work [literally: 'hire themselves out' and work as day laborers] for their bread,
but those who were hungry are no longer hungry.
The barren woman bears seven children [metaphor for many],
but the one with many sons wastes away [sits alone in sorrow].
