19 E eis que veio um grande vento do deserto, e atingiu os quatro cantos da casa, que caiu sobre os jovens, e morreram; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.

20 Então Jó se levantou, rasgou sua capa, rapou sua cabeça, e caindo na terra, adorou,

21 E disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu para lá voltarei. O SENHOR deu, e o SENHOR tomou; bendito seja o nome do SENHOR.

22 Em tudo isto Jó não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
