6 And it happened ⌊one day⌋l ⌊that⌋m the sons of Godn came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satano also came into their midst. 7 Sop 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.”
8 Sot Yahweh said to Satan,u “Have you ⌊considered⌋v 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.”
9 Thenx Satany answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have youz not put a fence around him and his household and around ⌊all that belongs to him⌋a ⌊on every side⌋?b You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestockc has increased in the land. 11 But,d on the other hand, stretch oute your hand and touch ⌊all that belongs to him⌋f and see ⌊whether⌋g he will ⌊curse⌋h you to your face.”
12 Soi Yahweh said to Satan,j “Look, ⌊all that belongs to him⌋k is in your ⌊power⌋.l Only do not stretch out your hand ⌊against⌋m him.” Son Satano went out from Yahweh’s ⌊presence⌋.p
