Job Is Stripped Of His Wealth
In the land of Uz, a blameless and upright man named Job has faced an unimaginable day of terror. Through a series of rapid, devastating messenger reports, he learned that his oxen, donkeys, sheep, camels, and servants were all destroyed or stolen. Worst of all, a great wind collapsed a house, killing all ten of his children in a single moment.
"And he said, 'Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked I shall return there. Yahweh gave and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.'"
— Job 1:21
