15 and the Sabeans fell on them and carried them off and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; I alone have escaped to tell you.”(A) 16 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them; I alone have escaped to tell you.”(B) 17 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three columns, made a raid on the camels and carried them off, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; I alone have escaped to tell you.”(C) 18 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,(D) 19 and suddenly a great wind came across the desert, struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; I alone have escaped to tell you.”(E)

Psalm 6:6-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

they grow weak because of all my foes.(A)
Job 29:5-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 when the Almighty[a] was still with me,
when my children were around me,
6 when my steps were washed with milk
and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!(A)
7 When I went out to the gate of the city,
when I took my seat in the square,
8 the young men saw me and withdrew,
and the aged rose up and stood;
9 the nobles refrained from talking
and laid their hands on their mouths;(B)
10 the voices of princes were hushed,
and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.(C)
11 When the ear heard, it commended me,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I delivered the poor who cried
and the orphan who had no helper.(D)
13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me,
and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.(E)
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and a turban.(F)
15 I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I championed the cause of the stranger.(G)
17 I broke the fangs of the unrighteous
and made them drop their prey from their teeth.(H)
18 Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest,
and I shall multiply my days like the phoenix;[b](I)
19 my roots spread out to the waters,
with the dew all night on my branches;(J)
20 my glory was fresh with me
and my bow ever new in my hand.’(K)
21 “They listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.(L)
22 After I spoke they did not speak again,
and my word dropped upon them like dew.[c](M)
23 They waited for me as for the rain;
they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence,
and the light of my countenance they did not extinguish.[d]
25 I chose what they should do and sat as chief,
and I lived like a king among his troops,
like one who comforts mourners.(N)
