Sky-Fire Incinerates Job's Sheep & Shepherds
While that messenger [jumps up and down screaming], another [messenger rides] up [to Job].
[This 2nd messenger shouts], β€œThe fire of Elohim fell from heaven.
It burned up [your] sheep and [your] servants.
[Flames] ate them!
I'm the only [one left!
I]
alone escaped to tell you!”
