Job 1:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house; ¹⁹ and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

²⁰ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped.
