Job's news/ bitter news/ very bad news
Very bad and painful news (like the bad news that Job heard about the fate of his family and possessions).
("And a messenger came to Job and said, ‘The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them, and the Sabeans fell upon them and took them away, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone escaped to tell you.’ While he was yet speaking, another came and said, ‘Fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants.’" - Job 1:14)
