Latin text Job tonso capite corruens in terram adoravit et dixit: nudus egressus sum de utero matris meae et nudus revertar illuc. Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit; sicut Domino placuit, ita factum est. Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.

English translation Job, his head shaven, fell upon the ground, and worshipped, and said, Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; as it pleased the Lord, so was it done. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now and for ever.
