He was the greatest man among all the people of the east. 4 His sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and consecrate them. Rising early in the morning, he would offer burnt offerings for each of them, thinking, 'Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.' Job did this regularly. 6 One day, the sons of God 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 the earth and walking back and forth on it.' 8 The LORD said to Satan, 'Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth—a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and turns away from evil.'
