Job 1:18-22 ▼

18 While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, |Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

19 and suddenly a great wind swept across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I--only I alone--escaped to tell you!|

20 Then Job got up and tore his robe. He shaved his head, and then he threw himself down with his face to the ground.

21 He said, |Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will return there. The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. May the name of the LORD be blessed!|

22 In all this Job did not sin, nor did he charge God with moral impropriety.
