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.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 1 of Job. The calamities arrive successively, destroying Job’s possessions, servants, and finally his children. The narrative emphasizes the speed and magnitude of the loss. Yet Job responds by worshiping and acknowledging that his life and possessions came from God. His first response does not remove the pain, but it shows that his relationship with God does not depend solely on favorable circumstances.

da fielen die aus Saba herein und nahmen sie und schlugen die Knechte mit der Schärfe des Schwerts; und ich bin allein entronnen, daß ich dir's ansagte.
Acometieron los Sabeos, y tomáronlos, e hirieron a los mozos a filo de espada: solamente escapé yo para traerte las nuevas.
cuando los sabeos atacaron y se los llevaron. Mataron a los sirvientes a filo de espada, y solo yo escapé para contártelo».
des Sabéens se sont jetés dessus, les ont enlevés, et ont passé les serviteurs au fil de l'épée. Et je me suis échappé moi seul, pour t'en apporter la nouvelle.
ed i Sabei sono scorsi, e li hanno rapiti, ed hanno messi a fil di spada i servitori; ed io tutto solo sono scampato per rapportartelo.
E deram sobre eles os sabeus, e os tomaram, e aos servos feriram ao fio da espada; e só eu escapei para trazer-te a nova.
示巴 人忽然闖來,把牲畜擄去,並用刀殺了僕人;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」
