Job 1:13-22

13 One day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the eldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them, 15 and the Sabeans fell on them and carried them off, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; I alone have escaped to tell you.” 16 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; I alone have escaped to tell you.” 17 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three columns, made a raid on the camels and carried them off, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; I alone have escaped to tell you.” 18 While he was still speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came across the desert, struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; I alone have escaped to tell you.”

20 Then Job arose, tore his robe, shaved his head, and fell on the ground and worshiped. 21 He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” 22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrongdoing.

  • Let vs marke then, that here the Diuell bewrayeth a disease wherewith all of vs are atteynted, vntill God haue hea∣led [ 50] vs of it by his grace: that is to wit, that in time of pro∣speritie we can blisse God: but if he afflict vs, we change our minde, and thenceforth beginne to grudge agaynste him, forgetting all the prayse whiche wee had gyuen him so long as hee dealte with vs after oure desire. And so there bee many hypocrites whiche cannot bee knowen nor discouered vntill God sende them aduersitie.
