Job 1:17-22 New Living Translation (NLT)

17. While he was still speaking, a third messenger arrived with this news: “Three bands of Chaldean raiders have stolen your camels and killed your servants. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

18. While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived with this news: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in their oldest brother’s home.

19. Suddenly, a powerful wind swept in from the wilderness and hit the house on all sides. The house collapsed, and all your children are dead. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

20. Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship.

21. He said, “I came naked from my mother’s womb,and I will be naked when I leave.The lord gave me what I had,and the lord has taken it away.Praise the name of the lord!”

22. In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God.
