The correct use of ? and "

Hello, momo
I don't see anything wrong with your sentences.

If you are quoting a question or an exclamation, it makes sense to place the question mark/exclamation mark inside the quotation marks:

John asked me, "are you coming to the party?"

As for the inclusion of commas and periods, there seems to be some debate about it, and you will probably get different answers from different people.
One thing I can tell you is that if there are punctuation marks in the sentences you quote, they should be respected and put inside the quotation marks.

You're welcome, Momo
As I said, though, you will surely get more responses about this.

If you're referring to the following:

In the sixth chapter and sixth verse, Job asked an interesting question, "Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?"

and if the questions are Job's actual words which you are quoting, then the question marks go inside the quotation marks. The sentence is ok as it is.

I hope I didn't misunderstand your question.

Momo,
I'm afraid I expressed myself incorrectly in my response to you. I've only just seen what you meant by two question marks in the same sentence!

since you have two question marks, I considered the questions as being separate: two questions. Each question mark is like a period and marks the end of the sentence.

I don't know what the original text says, but I think it would be safe to copy it as it is.

Anyway, and if you can take some liberties with the text, you would have two possibilities:

1. If you consider two separate questions, a question mark at the end of each one is correct. Notice that you will need to start your second question with a capital letter in this case:
"Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?"

2. If, on the other hand, you consider you have only one question, then you don't use the first question mark:
"Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the white of an egg?"

I'm sorry, I did misunderstand. I see what you meant now, and you are right: if you have only one question, then you use only one question mark, at the end of it.
