Job 1:18-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. At the time this one was speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother’s house.

19. And behold, a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house so that it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”

20. Then Job arose and tore his outer garment and shaved his head; then he fell upon the ground and he worshiped.

21. Then he said, “Naked I came out from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Yahweh gives, and Yahweh takes. Let Yahweh’s name be blessed.”

22. In all this, Job did not sin and did not charge God with wrongdoing.
