Job 1:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Job’s Reaction. 20 Then Job arose and tore his cloak and cut off his hair. He fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 He said,
“Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb,(A)
and naked shall I go back there.[a]
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord!”
22 In all this Job did not sin,(B) nor did he charge God with wrong.
