Job 1:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were eating grass nearby, ¹⁵ when the Sabeans [^Ca people from southern Arabia] attacked and carried them away. They killed the servants with swords, and I am the only one who escaped to tell you!”

¹⁶ The messenger was still speaking when another messenger arrived and said, “·Lightning [^LFire] from God fell from ·the sky [heaven]. It burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who escaped to tell you!”
