Job 1:5-7
Lexham English Bible

5 Then when[a] the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send,[b] and he would sanctify them. Thus[c] he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of all of them, because Job thought,[d] “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed[e] God in their heart.” This is what Job used to do all the time.[f]

6 And it happened one day[g] that[h] the sons of God[i] came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan[j] also came into their midst. 7 So[k] Yahweh said to Satan,[l] “From where have you come?”

Then[m] Satan[n] answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”

Job 1:5-7
New International Version

5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(A) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(B) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(C) and cursed God(D) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.

6 One day the angels[a](E) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](F) also came with them.(G) 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.”(H)
