Job 1:6-8

Expanded Bible

Satan Appears Before the Lord

⁶ One day the ·angels [^Lsons of God] came to ·show themselves [stand] before the Lord, and ·Satan [^Lthe Satan; ^Cmeans “the Accuser” or “the Adversary”; either the Devil or a member of God’s heavenly court] was with them. ⁷ The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan [1:6] answered the Lord, “I have been ·wandering around [roaming] the earth, ·going back and forth in [patrolling] it.”

⁸ Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed [considered; ^Lset your heart on] my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him. He is an honest and innocent man, honoring God and staying away from evil [1:1].”
