5Then whenf the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send,g and he would sanctify them. Thush he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of all of them, because Job thought,i “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursedj God in their heart.” This is what Job used to do all the time.k

6And it happened one dayl thatm the sons of Godn came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satano also came into their midst. 7Sop Yahweh said to Satan,q “From where have you come?”

Thenr Satans answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”

8Sot Yahweh said to Satan,u “Have you consideredv my servant Job? Indeed,w there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.”

9Thenx Satany answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10Have youz not put a fence around him and his household and around all that belongs to hima on every side?b You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestockc has increased in the land. 11But,d on the other hand, stretch oute your hand and touch all that belongs to himf and see whetherg he will curseh you to your face.”
