15
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
15
the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:15 In-Context
13
One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house,
14
a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15
and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
