The World English Bible (WEB): Job
Book 18 Job 001:001 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil. 001:002 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 001:003 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east. 001:004 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 001:005 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Thus did Job continually. 001:006 Now it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them. 001:007 Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth

ALICE. 'She could have taken a cab; I gave her the address. Don't be
so hard, Robert, I am teaching you to dance.' She is off with him
again.
COLONEL. 'Steve, the madcap.'
He falls into a chair, but sees the room still going round. It is
Alice's chance; she pounces upon Amy's hand, whirls her out of the
hiding place, and seems to greet her at the other door.
ALICE. 'Amy!'
COLONEL, jumping up, 'Not really? Hallo! I never for a moment--It was
true, then. Amy, you are a good little girl to come.'
AMY, to whom this is a not unexpected step in the game, 'Dear father.'
STEVE, to whom it is a very unexpected step indeed, 'Amy! Is this--your
