13One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,14a messenger came and reported to Job: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,15the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
