19 and suddenly a great wind came from [a]across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

20 Then Job arose, (A)tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he (B)fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said:

(C)“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord (D)gave, and the Lord has (E)taken away;
(F)Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
