Job 1:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ While he was still speaking, another messenger ran up and said, “Three bands of Chaldeans^[a] made a raid on the camels and carried them off and slaughtered those who were tending them. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁸ While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came forth and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house. ¹⁹ Then suddenly a powerful wind swept across the desert. It struck the four corners of the house, which collapsed upon the young people, and they are all dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
