Job 1:18-22
New International Version
Job 1:18-22
New International Version
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(A) were feasting(B) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(C) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(D) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(E)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(F) and shaved his head.(G) Then he fell to the ground in worship(H) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[a](I)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(J)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(K)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(L)

Job 1:18-22
King James Version
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
