that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
In context
12 The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
