1 Samuel 2:3 Context
1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is inlarged ouer mine enemies: because I reioyce in thy saluation. 2There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any Rocke like our God. 3Talke no more so exceeding proudly, let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4The vowes of the mightie men are broken, and they that stumbled are girt with strength. 5They that were full, haue hired out themselues for bread: and they that were hungry, ceased: so that the barren hath borne seuen, and she that hath many children, is waxed feeble.
