Job 1:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ One day Job’s sons and daughters were at their oldest brother’s house. They were enjoying good food and drinking wine. ¹⁴ During that time a messenger came to Job. He said, “The oxen were plowing. The donkeys were eating grass near them. ¹⁵ Then the Sabeans attacked us and carried off the animals. They killed some of the servants with their swords. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
