6 (A)Now there was a day when the (B)sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and (a)Satan also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “(C)From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8 The Lord said to Satan, “Have you (b)considered (D)My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, (E)a blameless and upright man, (c)fearing God and turning away from evil.”
