Job 1:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Messengers of Woe.^[a] One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house, ¹⁴ a messenger came to Job and said, “While your oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing beside them, ¹⁵ the Sabeans^[b] swooped down on them and carried them off, after first putting the herdsmen to the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
