Job 1:18

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"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;" — Job 1:18 (ASV)

Thy sons and thy daughters. —See Job 1:13. The marvellous accumulation of disasters points us to the conclusion that it was the distinct work of Satan, according to the permission given him (Job 1:12), and consequently supernatural.
