6 The day came when heavenly beings appeared before Jehovah. Satan was there among them.

7 Jehovah asked him: »What have you been doing?« Satan answered: »I have been walking here and there and roaming around the earth.«

8 »Did you notice my servant Job?« Jehovah asked. »There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He respects me and is careful not to do anything evil.«
