SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:16
Aun estaba éste hablando, y vino otro que dijo: Fuego de Dios cayó del cielo, que quemó las ovejas y los criados, y los consumió; solamente escapé yo para traerte las nuevas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 1:16
Verse 16. The fire of God is fallen ] Though the fire of God may mean a great, a tremendous fire, yet it is most natural to suppose lightning is meant; for as thunder was considered to be the voice of God, so lightning was the fire of God. And as the prince of the power of the air was permitted now to arm himself with this dreadful artillery of heaven, he might easily direct the zigzag lightning to every part of the fields where the sheep were feeding, and so destroy the whole in a moment.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-19 - Satan brought Job's troubles upon him on the day that his children began their course of feasting. The troubles all came upon Job at once while one messenger of evil tidings was speaking, another followed. Hi dearest and most valuable possessions were his ten children; news i brought him that they are killed. They were taken away when he had mos need of them to comfort him under other losses. In God only have we help present at all times. (Job 1:20-22)
