Job 1

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

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.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

21 Ref and he saith, `Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'

22 Ref In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.
