Job 1:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
New European Version 16 While he was still speaking, there also came another and said, The fire of God has fallen from the sky and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you. 17 While he was still speaking, there came also another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
16 Satan sometimes attacks us at our weakest where we are most likely to break. Lightning does not come from Satan but God proving to Satan allowed lightning to strike. So now Job has lost servants donkeys, oxen and shepherds and sheep and has only two servants that had survived to bring bad news.
17 So after this he no longer has his camels, Satan wanted to beak Job bad so he put the attacks right after one another. Job has three servants left at this time because Satan wanted him to be told, Satan could have taken these servants because Job would found out the bad news but it would have been not as quick, the Chaldean’s was the place Abraham came from.
