20. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped,
21. 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 is Job's response to the death of his children, if you just read the part that is usually quoted at the end of vs. 21 i think it sounds overly indifferent to the tragedy. To me the list in verse twenty implies that he went through plenty of suffering before he came to his conclusion--even with that, i don't think that his statement was made without tears.
