Job 1:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Each of his sons hosted a feast in his own house on his birthday. They invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them. ⁵ When the days of the feast had been completed, Job would send word^[a] and purify his children.^[b] Getting up early in the morning, he prepared entirely burned offerings for each one of them, for Job thought, Perhaps my children have sinned and then cursed^[c] God in their hearts. Job did this regularly.

Job’s motives questioned

⁶ One day the divine beings^[d] came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Adversary^[e] also came among them.
