1 Samuel 2:7
Douay-Rheims
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth.
Adam Clarke
The Lord maketh poor - For many cannot bear affluence, and if God should continue to trust them with riches, they would be their ruin. Maketh rich - Some he can trust, and therefore makes them stewards of his secular bounty.
