Job 1:19

Suddenly a strong wind came from the desert and seized the four corners of the house, and it collapsed on the people, killing them. I, the only survivor, escaped to tell you this."
[The first and third disasters were caused by people, while the second and fourth were due to natural disasters. Verses 13 and 18 refer to the same feast at the eldest brother's house, which shows that all this happened within the space of a day. The description of the disasters begins and ends in the same way, by introducing a messenger. The word order in Hebrew reinforces the fact that the messenger barely survived. The same phrase ("While he was still speaking, another messenger came") recurs in verse 16, 17, and 18. That he barely survived was a cunning strategy devised by Satan. The purpose was to overwhelm Job and give him no time to recover.]
