Job 1:21 from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:
"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
This verse contains Job's response after learning that he has lost his children and his wealth. The meaning of this passage can be understood as follows:
1. "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither": Job acknowledges that he came into the world with nothing and will leave with nothing. This emphasizes the temporary nature of worldly possessions and status.
2. "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away": Job recognizes God's sovereignty over all things. He understands that everything he had was a gift from God, and God has the right to take it back.
3. "Blessed be the name of the Lord": Despite his immense loss, Job chooses to praise God. This demonstrates his deep faith and acceptance of God's will, even in the face of tremendous adversity.
The verse is often cited as an example of unwavering faith and the ability to praise God even in the darkest times. It reflects a perspective that all things come from God and that one should be thankful for what they receive and accepting when it is taken away.
This passage is central to the book of Job, which deals with the question of why good people suffer. Job's response here sets the tone for his character throughout the rest of the book.
