At Job 1:21, Job says, " ... the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
HalfLuke 19:88Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."
The Bible does not mention the name of the innkeeper in Bethlehem who turned Mary and Joseph away. The story of the innkeeper turning them away is a popular tradition in Christian culture surrounding the birth of Jesus.
A verse in the Bible that begins with the letter "A" is from Acts 1:8 - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
King Abijah is considered a bad king in the Bible because he did not follow the ways of the Lord and continued the sins of his father, King Rehoboam. He led the kingdom of Judah into idolatry and away from God's commandments, resulting in the nation falling out of favor with God.
This phrase is often interpreted as suggesting that upon death, one's soul will immediately be in the presence of God. It is often used in Christian theology to convey the belief in an afterlife where those who have passed away will be reunited with the Lord.
This phrase is from the Bible, specifically from the Book of Job. Job says it after experiencing a series of tragedies, attributing both positive and negative events to God's will.
In the same suffering, with the same doubts, but also with the same humility and acceptance of God's will. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
The proper quote is 'God giveth life and God taketh life away'. This means that God gives us life and he decides when it is time for our lives to come to an end, when he feels it is best. This quote is used often in ethical discussions involving Christianity and religion. For example, in conversations about euthanasia (mercy killing), this quote can be used to demonstrate that euthanasia is not right in the eyes of the lord becuase it is he that decides when we die.
The King giveth and the King taketh away.
It comes out of the book of Job when the Sons of God were presenting themselves to God and Satan was with them and God asked Satan what was he doing and he said: Going to and fro seeking whom I may devour. God asked him; have you considered my servant Job. So as Satan began to do different thing to Job such as destroy his crops kill his cattle and his children, Jobs response was; naked I came out of my mothers and naked shall I leave, the Lord giveth and the taketh away blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21

"Dominus dedit et Dominus abstulit" or "Dominus dedit Dominus abstulitque," although the Biblia Sacra Vulgata keeps with the idiom of the lingua vulgata and omits "and:" "Dominus dedit Dominus abstulit."
That maxim is a paraphrase of a statement made by Job as recorded in Job 1:21 - And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord." [NKJV]
Consider it this way:1) The 'country' did not 'GIVE LIFE' to us. It has therefore no right to request our life from us. It is their's not to 'request'.2) According to the Bible, it is Jehovah God who GAVE us life. He has the right to request it back again from us. There's an expression: "He giveth - - He taketh away."
The song "Forever" was released October 17, 1989 when it was included on the Kiss album "Hot in the Shade". It was also released as a single in January of 1990 with a B-side of "The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away".
Job 1:21 (KJV)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. You can also hear it while watching the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" special features disc. Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort yells in one scene.So many read the words of Job 1:21, but never bother to consider the fact that Job was not speaking of events to come. He was speaking of what he had already experienced. In turn this should lead us to reading Job 1:1 through Job 1:20 and seeing for ourselves that God never took a single thing from Job. In fact, after disciplining Job based on his words of error and anger toward God, it was the Lord who actually gave to Job, but He never took a single thing.
