And when they had gone around the day of feasting, Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. So Job did always.

And, behold, a great wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead. And I only have escaped alone to tell you.

In all this Job did not sin, nor charge God foolishly.

But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and did not know him, they lifted up their voice and wept. And each one tore his robe, and they sprinkled dust upon their heads toward Heaven.

For it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

Why did I not die from the womb, come from the womb and expire?

Why did the knees go before me; or why the breasts, that I should suck?

or as a hidden untimely birth I would not have been, like infants who did not see light.

I was not in safety, nor did I have rest, nor was I quiet; yet trouble comes.

I smiled kindly on them when they did not believe; and they did not make the light of my face fall.

I cried to You, and You did not hear me; I stood up, and You did not consider me.

Did I not weep for him whose day was hard; and my soul grieved for the poor?

My bowels boiled, and did not rest; the days of trouble confront me.

Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One shape us in the womb?

if the men of my camp did not say, Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat?

The stranger did not sleep in the street, for I opened my doors to the traveler.

By the breath of God ice is given; and the expanse of waters is frozen tight.

And his young brood also sucks up blood; and where the dead are, there he is.

Who is he who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me; yea, I did not know.
