18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, a“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 and suddenly a great wind came from1 across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
20 Then Job arose, atore his robe, and shaved his head; and he bfell to the ground and worshiped.
21 And he said:
a“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord bgave, and the Lord has ctaken away;
dBlessed be the name of the Lord.”
a“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord bgave, and the Lord has ctaken away;
dBlessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 aIn all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
