Job 1:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 1:19

17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, ^a“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

19 and suddenly a great wind came from¹ across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

20 Then Job arose, ^atore his robe, and shaved his head; and he ^bfell to the ground and worshiped.

21 And he said:
^a“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord ^bgave, and the Lord has ^ctaken away;
^dBlessed be the name of the Lord.”

22 ^aIn all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
