Job 1:22

Job
FaithIntegritySuffering

20 Then Job stood up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped,

21 saying: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

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