Job 1:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible
20 When Job heard this news he was very upset. He tore his clothes and he cut off all his hair. Then he bent down low on the ground to worship God. 21 He said, ‘When I was born, I had nothing. When I die, I will take nothing with me. The Lord has given me all the things that I have. The Lord may choose to take those things away. I will continue to praise the name of the Lord!’
22 Even after all these things had happened, Job still did not do anything bad. He did not say that God had done something wrong to him.
