Prologue
1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."
21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.1:21 Or will return there
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord be praised."
