13Now on the dayH3117 when his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their oldestH1060 brother’sH251 houseH1004, 14a messengerH4397 cameH935 to JobH347 and saidH559, “The oxenH1241 were plowingH2790 and the 1donkeysH860 feedingH7462 besideH5921H3027 them, 15and 2the 3SabeansH7614 4attackedH5307 and tookH3947 them. They also 5slewH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and 6I aloneH905H7534 have escapedH4422 to tellH5046 you.” 16While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, anotherH2088 also cameH935 and saidH559, “7The fireH784 of GodH430 fellH5307 from heavenH8064 and burnedH1197 up the sheepH6629 and the servantsH5288 and consumedH398 them, and I aloneH905H7534 have escapedH4422 to tellH5046 you.” 17While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, anotherH2088 also cameH935 and saidH559, “The 8ChaldeansH3778 formedH7760 threeH7969 bandsH7218 and madeH7760 a raidH6584 on the camelsH1581 and tookH3947 them and 9slewH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and I aloneH905H7534 have escapedH4422 to tellH5046 you.” 18While he was still speakingH1696, anotherH2088 also cameH935 and saidH559, “Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their oldestH1060 brother’sH251 houseH1004, 19and beholdH2009, a greatH1419 windH7307 cameH935 from acrossH5676 the wildernessH4057 and struckH5221 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 on the youngH5288 peopleH5288 and they diedH4191, and I aloneH905H7534 have escapedH4422 to tellH5046 you.”
20Then JobH347 aroseH6965 and 10toreH7167 his robeH4598 and shavedH1494 his headH7218, and he fellH5307 to the groundH776 and worshipedH7812. 21He saidH559, “11NakedH6174 I cameH3318 from my mother’sH517 wombH990, And nakedH6174 I shall returnH7725 thereH8033. The 12LordH3068 gaveH5414 and the LordH3068 has takenH3947 away. BlessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LordH3068.”
2213Through allH3605 thisH2088 JobH347 did not sinH2398 norH3808 did he 14blameH5414H8604 GodH430.
