Tree of Life Version
Job 1:13-19
13One day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14a messenger came to Job, saying, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing near them,
15when the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They also killed the servants with the edge of the sword—I alone escaped to tell you!”
16While this one was still speaking another came in and said, “The fire of God has fallen from heaven and has burned up the sheep and servants—it has consumed them, and I—I alone—escaped to tell you!”
17While this one was still speaking another came in and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and raided the camels and took them all away. They also killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I—only I alone—escaped to tell you!”
18While this one was still speaking another came in and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine at their oldest brother’s house
19when suddenly a mighty wind came from beyond the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it collapsed on the young people and they died. And I—only I alone—escaped to tell you!”
