Job 1:18-21

18While 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:

19And, 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.1

20Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,2

21And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Yhwh gave, And Yhwh hath taken away; blessed be the name of Yhwh.
