²⁰ Then Job arose and ^(A)tore his ^(B)robe and ^(C)shaved his head ^(D)and fell on the ground and worshiped. ²¹ And he said, ^(E)“Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I ^(F)return. The Lord ^(G)gave, and the Lord has taken away; ^(H)blessed be the name of the Lord.”

^22 (I)In all this Job did not sin or charge God with ^(J)wrong.

⁷ So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome ^(A)sores from ^(B)the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. ⁸ And he took ^(C)a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in ^(D)the ashes.

⁹ Then his wife said to him, “Do you still ^(E)hold fast your integrity? ^(F)Curse God and die.” ¹⁰ But he said to her, “You speak as one of the ^(G)foolish women would speak. ^(H)Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”^{[a] (I)}In all this Job did not ^(J)sin with his lips.
