10Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

11But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”

14that there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
