Job 1:16-19 ▼

16 While this one was still speaking, another messenger arrived and said, |The fire of God has fallen from heaven and has burned up the sheep and the servants--it has consumed them! And I--only I alone--escaped to tell you!|

17 While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, |The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! And I--only I alone--escaped to tell you!|

18 While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, |Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

19 and suddenly a great wind swept across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I--only I alone--escaped to tell you!|
