What the source reads — bene ha-elohim — 'the sons of God', the divine beings of the heavenly court, presenting themselves before the LORD (so the Hebrew, kept by the KJV and the Italians)
What this version reads — hoi angeloi tou theou — 'the angels of God'; the Septuagint turns the council's divine sons into angels (again at Job 38:7, 'my angels' for the 'morning stars / sons of God')
In the Hebrew, 'the sons of God' — members of the divine council — come to stand before the LORD. The Septuagint renders them 'the angels of God', demoting a council of divine beings into a rank of messengers; it does the same at Job 38:7, where the Hebrew's 'morning stars' and 'sons of God' become simply 'my angels' — a demotion the Coptic and Ethiopic, made from the Greek, both inherit. It is the same move the Greek makes at Deuteronomy 32:8. The council survives in the Hebrew and the later translations; the Greek quietly ranks it down.
