Ari Lesser - Book of Job: Chapter 1 - Tisha B'Av 5784

well I know that I was naked when my Mama gave me birth someday I'll be naked when I'm buried in this earth the one who gives me everything is the very same as the one who takes it all away so blessed be God's name there once was a man in the land of O who went by the name of Joel had more wealth than any person on the east side of the globe thousands of camels cows and sheep so he lived the life with his three daughters seven sons and his beautiful wife now job was a wholesome person honest his whole life long he was a true God-fearing man who never did one wrong he'd bring a weakly offering for each of his 10 kids just to atone for any sin his children may have did but one day a servant came to job with news and it was bad he said Bandits just attacked they stole every cow you had I'm the only man who got away all the rest fell by the sword but before he finished speaking a second man burst through the door he said I was tending to your flock when a raging fire came all your 7,000 sheep they just went up in Flames I survived but all the other Shepherds were consumed but before he finished speaking a third man burst in the room he said soldiers of Babylon showed up out of the blue they had us surrounded there was nothing we could do they stole all your camels I barely escaped alive but before he finished speaking one last messenger arriv he said job I just came from the home of your eldest son your kids were all there eating drinking just having some fun when a whirlwind from the desert blew and it came through so fast that only I got out of life before that house collapsed when job heard all this news he stood up tore his shirt he threw himself down on the ground face first in the dirt he ripped out almost all the hair from a top his head but then he regained his composure and this is what he said well I know that I was naked when my Mama gave me birth someday I'll be naked when I'm buried in this Earth the one who gives me everything is the very same as the one who takes it all away so blessed be God's name
