11 But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
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 there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were ploughing, 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, there also came another, and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burnt up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
