BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD

Renie Brandow 

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all 

that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself 

put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth 

from the presence of the LORD.  And there 

was a day when his sons and his daughters 

were eating and drinking wine in their 

eldest brother’s house:  And there came a 

messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen 

were plowing, and the asses feeding 

beside them  And the Sabeans fell upon 

them, and took them away; yea, they 

have slain the servants with the edge of 

the sword; and I only am escaped 

alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, 

there came also another, and said, The 

fire of God is fallen from heaven, and 

hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, 

and consumed them; and I only 

am escaped alone to tell thee.  While he 

was yet speaking, there came also another, 

and said, The Chaldeans made out three 

bands, and fell upon the camels, and have 

carried them away, yea, and slain the 

servants with the edge of the sword; 

and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

While he was yet speaking, there 

came also another, and said, Thy sons 

and thy daughters were eating and 

drinking wine in their eldest brother’s 

house: And, behold, there came a great 

wind from the wilderness, and smote the four 

corners of the house, and it fell upon the 

young men, and they are dead; and I 

only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and 

shaved his head, and fell down upon the

 ground, and worshipped,  And said, Naked 

came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked 

shall I return thither: the LORD gave, 

and the LORD hath taken away; blessed 

be the name of the LORD.  In all this Job 

sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Joh 1:12-21
