Job 1:18-22
New American Standard Bible
18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Then Job got up, (A)tore his robe, and shaved his head; then he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 He said,
“(B)Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked I shall return there.
The (C)Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 (D)Despite all this, Job did not sin, nor did he [a]blame God.
