1:13 Satan destroys Iyyov’s wealth and children
13 So one day when Iyyov’s sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Iyyov and reported, “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding nearby, 15 the Sabeans attacked with their swords and stole them all. They killed all your slaves except that I managed to escape to tell you.”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the sky and burnt up the sheep and the shepherds. Only ashes are left, except that I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 While he was still speaking, another one came and explained, “The Chaldeans formed into three bands and raided the camels and took them, and they attacked the slaves with their swords, and I’m the only one who escaped to come and tell you.”
18 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother 19 when suddenly a freak wind came from across the desert and struck the house. It collapsed on the young people and killed them, and only I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Then Iyyov stood up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he knelt with his face to the ground and worshipped God, 21 saying, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will leave this life naked. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken. May Yahweh’s reputation??? be blessed.”
22 Through all of that, Iyyov didn’t disobey God or accuse him of being evil.
