Job 1:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ His sons used to take turns having banquets at their homes. They would send an invitation to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. ⁵ Whenever a round of banqueting was over, Job would send for his children and purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for^[a] all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned, having cursed God in their hearts.”^(A) This was Job’s regular practice.

Satan’s First Test of Job

⁶ One day the sons of God^(B) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan^[b] also came with them.
