6
One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.
Job 1:6 In-Context
4
His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5
When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6
One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
7
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
