13 And there was a day when Job's sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house; 14 And there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding be side them; 15 And robbers raided them, and carried them away, and they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and I only have escaped to inform you. 16 While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said to him, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the shepherds, and consumed them; and I only have escaped to inform you. 17 While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said to him, The Chaldeans divided themselves into three bands, and raided the camels, and carried them away, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped to inform you. 18 While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said to him, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house; 19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have escaped to inform you.
