9. Answering him, Satan said, "Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10. Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11. But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face."
12. Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him." And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13. So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14. a messenger came to Job, who said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15. and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you."
16. And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, "The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you."
17. And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, "The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you."
