Job 1:21

Job 1:21

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.”

22 ^aIn all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

<< Job 1:20

Naked— (I Timothy 6:7). "Mother's womb" is poetically the earth, the universal mother (Ecclesiastes 5:15; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Psalms 139:15). Job herein realizes God's assertion (Job 1:8) against Satan's (Job 1:11). Instead of cursing, he blesses the name of JEHOVAH (Hebrew). The name of Jehovah, is Jehovah Himself, as manifested to us in His attributes (Isaiah 9:6).
