Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 1:20

"Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;" — Job 1:20 (ASV)

And worshipped. —Compare the conduct of David (2 Samuel 12:20) and of Hezekiah (2 Kings 19:1). Moments of intense sorrow or trial, like moments of intense joy, force us into the immediate presence of God.
