Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. Hannah’s song interprets the preceding events theologically. Barrenness transformed into motherhood becomes an example of a broader principle: God brings down apparent human securities and exalts those who depend on him. The song speaks of divine sovereignty over life, poverty, wealth, and power, and anticipates the downfall of the mighty. Samuel’s story is therefore framed by a perspective that helps interpret later events, especially Eli’s humiliation and Saul’s downfall, as part of a dynamic of exaltation and judgment.

Laßt euer großes Rühmen und Trotzen, noch gehe freches Reden aus eurem Munde; denn der HERR ist ein Gott, der es merkt, und läßt solch Vornehmen nicht gelingen.
No multipliquéis hablando grandezas, altanerías; Cesen las palabras arrogantes de vuestra boca; Porque el Dios de todo saber es Jehová, Y a él toca el pesar las acciones.
No sigan hablando con tanta altivez; que no salga arrogancia de su boca. Porque Jehová es un Dios que todo lo sabe, y por él son pesadas las acciones.
Ne parlez plus avec tant de hauteur; Que l'arrogance ne sorte plus de votre bouche; Car l'Eternel est un Dieu qui sait tout, Et par lui sont pesées toutes les actions.
Non moltiplicate in parole altiere; Non escavi dalla bocca un parlar aspro; Perciocchè il Signore è l’Iddio d’ogni scienza; Ed a lui s’appartiene il pesar le imprese.
Não multipliqueis palavras de altivez, nem saiam coisas arrogantes da vossa boca; porque o SENHOR é o Deus de conhecimento, e por ele são as obras pesadas na balança.
不要誇口說驕傲的話, 也不要口出狂妄的言語, 因耶和華是有知識的上帝, 人的行為被他衡量。
