LEB(i)
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose* name was Job. That* man was blameless and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.
2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
3 Then* his livestock came to be seven thousand sheep and goats and three thousand camels and five hundred pairs* of oxen and five hundred female donkeys, and he had very many slaves, and that man was greater than all the people of the east.
4 And his sons used to go and hold a feast ⌊at each other's house⌋* on his day, and they would send, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 ⌊Then when⌋* the days of the feast had run their course, ⌊Job would send⌋,* and he would sanctify them. Thus* he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of all of them, because Job thought,* "Perhaps my children have sinned and ⌊cursed⌋* God in their heart." This is what Job used to do ⌊all the time⌋.*
6 And it happened ⌊one day⌋* ⌊that⌋* the sons of God* came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan* also came into their midst.
7 So* Yahweh said to Satan,* "From where have you come?"
Then* Satan* answered Yahweh and said, "From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it." 8 So* Yahweh said to Satan,* "Have you ⌊considered⌋* my servant Job? Indeed,* there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil."
