In Context

4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, |It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.| Job did so continually.

6 Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them.

7 Yahweh said to Satan, |Where have you come from?| Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, |From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.|

8 Yahweh said to Satan, |Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.|

9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, |Does Job fear God for nothing?
