Job 1:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the ^[a]donkeys feeding beside them, ¹⁵ and ^[b]the ^(A)Sabeans ^[c]attacked and took them. They also ^[d]slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and ^[e]I alone have escaped to tell you.” ¹⁶ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “^(B)The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
