20 Ref Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;

22 Ref In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

20 Ref Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,

21 Ref With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

22 Ref In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.
