Job 1,18

Parents and childrenGriefSuffering

16 Mens han ennå talte, kom en annen budbringer og sa: "Guds ild falt fra himmelen og brente opp sauene og tjenerne, og jeg alene har unnsluppet for å fortelle deg det."

17 Mens han ennå talte, kom en annen budbringer og sa: "Kalderne dannet tre bander og raidet kamelene og tok dem bort. De slo tjenerne med sverd, og jeg alene har unnsluppet for å fortelle deg det."

Mens han ennå talte, kom enda en budbringer og sa: "Dine sønner og døtre spiste og drakk vin i deres eldste brors hus,

19 da plutselig en mektig vind feide inn fra ørkenen og slo de fire hjørnene av huset, og det kollapset over dem, og de er døde. Jeg alene har unnsluppet for å fortelle deg det."

20 Da reiste Job seg, rev i stykker kappen sin og barberte hodet. Så falt han til jorden og tilba.
