Job 1:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ and suddenly a great wind came across the desert, struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; I alone have escaped to tell you.”^(A)

²⁰ Then Job arose, tore his robe, shaved his head, and fell on the ground and worshiped.^{(B) 21} He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”^(C)
