5 Og så ofte en omgang av disse gjestebud var til ende, sendte Job bud efter dem og helliget dem; han stod tidlig op om morgenen og ofret brennoffer, ett for hver av dem; for Job sa: Kanskje mine sønner har syndet og sagt Gud farvel i sitt hjerte. Således gjorde Job alltid.

5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, 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.
