Job 1:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ Before that servant finished speaking, a third one raced up and said, “Three gangs of Chaldeans^[a] attacked and stole your camels! All of your other servants were killed, and I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

¹⁸ That servant was still speaking, when a fourth one dashed up and said, “Your children were having a feast and drinking wine at the home of your oldest son, ¹⁹ when suddenly a windstorm from the desert blew the house down, crushing all of your children. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”
