Job 1:15

¹³ One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

¹⁴ a messenger came and reported to Job: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,

the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

¹⁶ While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The fire of God fell from heaven. It burned and consumed the sheep and the servants, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

¹⁷ While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels, and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
