Job 1:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ when someone rushed up to Job and said, “While your servants were plowing with your oxen, and your donkeys were nearby eating grass, ¹⁵ a gang of Sabeans^[a] attacked and stole the oxen and donkeys! Your other servants were killed, and I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

¹⁶ That servant was still speaking, when a second one came running and said, “God sent down a fire that killed your sheep and your servants. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”
