Job 1:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ a messenger came to Job and reported: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys grazing nearby, ¹⁵ the Sabeans^(A) swooped down and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

¹⁶ He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported: “A lightning storm^[a] struck from heaven.^(B) It burned up the sheep and the servants and devoured them, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
