The sixth Sermon vpon the first Chapter.
13. One day as his Sons and Daughters were eating and drinking of wine in their elder brothers house, 14. A messenger came unto Job and said: The Oxen were labouring, and the she asses were feeding by, 15. And behold the Sabeans brake in upon them and took them, and have slain thy servants with the edge of the sword, And I am escaped alone to bring thee word of it. 16. And as he was yet speaking, Behold there was another which said, The fire of God is fallen from Heaven, and hath burned up thy Sheep and thy servants, And I only am escaped to bring thee word of it. 17. And as he was yet speaking, behold another which said, The Chaldees have made three bands and brake in upon thy Camels, and have taken them away, and have also smitten thy servants with the edge of the sword, And I only am escaped to come and tell thee. 18. As he was speaking, behold another, saying: Thy Sons and thy Daughters were eating and drinking of wine in their elder brothers house, 19. Behold an hideous wind from the wilderness rushed against the house, and crushed the four Corners of it together, and it is fallen upon the young folk, and they be dead, And I am escaped alone to tell thee of it.
