20 Then Job stood up, tore(A) his robe, and shaved(B) his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped, 21 saying:

and naked I will leave this life.[a](D)
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.(E)

22 Throughout all this Job did not sin or blame God for anything.[b](F)
