5 Terminado um período de banquetes, Jó mandava chamá-los e fazia com que se purificassem. De madrugada ele oferecia um holocausto em favor de cada um deles, pois pensava: "Talvez os meus filhos tenham lá no íntimo pecado e amaldiçoado a Deus". Essa era a prática constante de Jó.

5 And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending-sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.
