5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,

but those who were hungry are hungry no more.

She who was barren has borne seven children,

but she who has had many sons pines away.

6 “The Lord brings death and makes alive;

he brings down to the grave and raises up.

5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry ceased:

So that the barren hath born seven;

And she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive:

He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

5 Those who were well fed are now starving,

and those who were starving are now full.

The childless woman now has seven children,

and the woman with many children wastes away.

6 The Lord gives both death and life;

he brings some down to the grave but raises others up.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,

And the hungry have ceased to hunger.

Even the barren has borne seven,

And she who has many children has become feeble.

6 “The Lord kills and makes alive;

He brings down to the grave and brings up.

5 Those who once had plenty of food now must work for food,

but people who were hungry are hungry no more.

The woman who could not have children now has seven,

but the woman who had many children now is sad.

6 “The Lord sends death,

and he brings to life.

He sends people to the grave,

and he raises them to life again.

5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry have ceased to hunger:

Yea, the barren hath borne seven;

And she that hath many children languisheth.

6 Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive:

He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

5 They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are so no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 6 Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

5 Those who were well-fed hire themselves out for a piece of bread, 

but those who were hungry hunger no more. 

Even the woman who was childless gives birth to seven children, 

but the mother of many children grieves all alone. 

6 “The Lord kills, and he gives life. 

He makes ⸤people⸥ go down to the grave, and he raises them up ⸤again⸥. 

5 Those who are full hire themselves out for food,

but those who are starving hunger no more.

The woman who is childless gives birth to seven,

but the woman with many sons pines away.

6 The Lord brings death and gives life;

He sends some to Sheol, and He raises others up.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,

but those who were hungry are fat with spoil.

The barren has borne seven,

but she who has many children is forlorn.

6 The Lord kills and brings to life;

he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

5 Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread,

but those who are hungry will become fat.

As for the infertile, she will bear seven,

but she who has many sons withers away.

6 Yahweh kills and restores alive,

he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

5 Those who used to be full have to work for food.

But those who used to be hungry aren’t hungry anymore.

The woman who couldn’t have children has seven of them now.

But the woman who has had many children is sad now because hers have died.

6 “The Lord causes people to die. He also gives people life.

He brings people down to the grave. He also brings people up.

5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,

But those who were hungry cease to hunger.

Even the barren gives birth to seven,

But she who has many children languishes.

6 “The Lord kills and makes alive;

He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
