Job 1:13-22

13Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 14a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the 1donkeys feeding beside them, 15and 2the 3Sabeans 4attacked and took them. They also 5slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and 6I alone have escaped to tell you.” 16While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “7The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” 17While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The 8Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and 9slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” 18While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

20Then Job arose and 10tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21He said, “11Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked I shall return there. The 12Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

2213Through all this Job did not sin nor did he 14blame God.
