Job 1:13-19

LEB(i) 13 And then there was one day when* his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother's house. 14 And a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the female donkeys were feeding beside them.* 15 Then* the Sabeans attacked,* and they took them, and they slew the servants by the edge of the sword.* But* I escaped, even I alone, to tell you." 16 While this one was still speaking, another* came and said, "The fire of God fell from the heavens, and it blazed up against the sheep and goats and against the servants, and it consumed them. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you." 17 While this one was still speaking, another* came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three divisions, and they made a raid on the camels, and they carried them away, and they struck your servants by the edge of the sword,* but I escaped, even I alone, to tell you." 18 At the time* this one was speaking, another* came and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother's house. 19 And behold,* a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house so that* it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you."
