Job 1:5-7

Young's Literal Translation

⁵and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend burnt-offerings -- the number of them all -- for Job said, `Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.' Thus doth Job all the days.

⁶And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst.

⁷And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence comest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.'

⁶One day the angels^[a]^(E) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan^[b]^(F) also came with them.^(G) ⁷The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
