5 So it was, when the days of feasting had made the rounds, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Thus Job did over time.

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.
