Good News Translation
20 Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face downward on the ground. 21 (A)He said, “I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!”
22 In spite of everything that had happened, Job did not sin by blaming God.
