Job 1:15-19
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.”While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said,“ The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said,“ The Chaldeans 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.”While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said,“ Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

Job 29:5-25
when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him who I didn’t know.I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.Then I said,‘ I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’“ Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
