Job:1:11-21
rsv@Job:1:11 @ But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse thee to thy face."
rsv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself do not put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
rsv@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
rsv@Job:1:14 @ and there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing and the asses feeding beside them;
rsv@Job:1:15 @ and the Sabe'ans fell upon them and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
rsv@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "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."
rsv@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The Chalde'ans formed three companies, and made a raid upon the camels and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
rsv@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
rsv@Job:1:19 @ and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
rsv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped.
rsv@Job:1:21 @ And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."
