Job - http://www.biblevector.com/2011/03/bible-stories-job.html
The Second Wife (Job's Second Wife)
At
the Devil’s doings,
(and
with God’s Blessings)
came
the annihilation
of
Job’s animals, his children perishing in the collapse of a house,
the
death and destruction
of
all that Job cherished.
Job
did not curse God,
as
Satan believed he would, and
God
rewarded Job’s faith
by
restoring his prosperity.
Yes,
He gave him twice as much as he owned before suffering the Devil’s trials!
Fourteen
thousand sheep; and
six
thousand camels; and
a
thousand yoke of oxen; and
a
thousand she-asses.
And
there was even more:
seven
sons and
three
beautiful daughters named Jemimah, Keziah and Kerenhappuch.
Presumably,
a new wife who bore him these seven sons and three beautiful daughters.
And Job was happy again.
Life was good.
God was Good.
But
what did the nameless new wife think, when
a restored Job came a'courtin?
Did
she ask: where is your previous family, oh, unlucky one?
Oh,
God-fearing, pious one? Oh, cursed one?
Did
she wonder why God destroyed Job’s family, his life?
And later, after she accepted Job into her life,
as
she lay awake by Job’s side at night, in his new house,
did
Job’s new, nameless wife keep her eyes open, wondering:
Will God one day also wipe me out, along with our seven sons and three beautiful
daughters?
