Job 1:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And behold, there came a great wind from beyond the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, which fell upon the children, and they are dead, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and [a]rent his garment, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, (A)Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return [b]thither: the Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken it: [c]blessed be the Name of the Lord.
