Job 1:19-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you."

20. Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,

21. and he said, "Naked I departed from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

22. In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
