Job 1:20-22
English Standard Version
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.

Job 3:11-17
English Standard Version
11 “Why (A)did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
12 Why did (B)the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13 For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14 with kings and counselors of the earth
who (C)rebuilt ruins for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not as a hidden (D)stillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
and there the weary are at (E)rest.
