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 cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 1 of Job. The prologue presents Job as a blameless man who fears God and turns away from evil, whose prosperity is expressed through family, possessions, and social position. From the beginning, the scene establishes that his later suffering will not be presented as a direct consequence of sinful behavior. Job’s integrity therefore becomes the starting point of the book’s theological conflict.

Und wenn die Tage des Mahls um waren, sandte Hiob hin und heiligte sie und machte sich des Morgens früh auf und opferte Brandopfer nach ihrer aller Zahl; denn Hiob gedachte: Meine Söhne möchten gesündigt und Gott abgesagt haben in ihrem Herzen. Also tat Hiob allezeit.
Y acontecía que, habiendo pasado en turno los días del convite, Job enviaba y santificábalos, y levantábase de mañana y ofrecía holocaustos conforme al número de todos ellos. Porque decía Job: Quizá habrán pecado mis hijos, y habrán blasfemado a Dios en sus corazones. De esta manera hacía todos los días.
Cuando terminaba el ciclo de los banquetes, Job mandaba llamar a sus hijos y los consagraba. Se levantaba temprano y ofrecía un holocausto por cada uno, porque decía: «Quizá mis hijos hayan pecado y maldecido a Dios en su corazón». Job hacía esto habitualmente.
Et quand les jours de festin étaient passés, Job appelait et sanctifiait ses fils, puis il se levait de bon matin et offrait pour chacun d'eux un holocauste; car Job disait: Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché et ont-ils offensé Dieu dans leur coeur. C'est ainsi que Job avait coutume d'agir.
E quando aveano compiuta la volta de’ giorni del convito, Giobbe mandava a santificarli; poi si levava la mattina, ed offeriva olocausti, secondo il numero di essi tutti; perciocchè Giobbe diceva: I miei figliuoli avranno forse peccato, ed avranno parlato male di Dio nei cuori loro. Così faceva sempre Giobbe
Sucedia, pois, que, decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Jó, e os santificava, e se levantava de madrugada, e oferecia holocaustos segundo o número de todos eles; porque dizia Jó: Talvez pecaram meus filhos, e amaldiçoaram a Deus no seu coração. Assim fazia Jó continuamente.
宴席的日子過了, 約伯 派人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來,按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭,因為他說:「恐怕我的兒子犯了罪,心中背棄 上帝。」 約伯 常常這樣行。
