Job 1:20-22

International Standard Version

Job Blesses God Despite the Catastrophe

²⁰Then Job stood up, tore his robe, shaved his head, fell to the ground, bowed very low, ²¹and exclaimed:

“I left my mother’s womb naked,
    and I will return to God naked.

        May the name of the Lord be blessed.”

²²Job neither sinned nor charged God with wrongdoing in all of this.
