Job 1:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ That messenger was still speaking when yet another came and reported, ‘The Chaldeans formed three bands, made a raid on the camels, and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you! ’

¹⁸ He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, ‘Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house. ¹⁹ Suddenly a powerful wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people so that they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you! ’
