1 Samuel 1:6–7; Job 12:6

And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.


gThe tents of robbers are at peace,

and those who provoke God are secure,

who bring their god in their hand.1
