And when the feast days had run their course, 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 children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This is what Job always did.

Job Loses Property and Children

One day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the eldest brother’s house,

Their children are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.

If your children sinned against him, he delivered them into the power of their transgression.

Their children come to honor, and they do not know it; they are brought low, and it goes unnoticed.

Those who denounce friends for reward— the eyes of their children will fail.

Even young children despise me; when I rise, they talk against me.

Their children will seek the favor of the poor, and their hands will give back their wealth.

Their children are established in their presence and their offspring before their eyes.

They send out their little ones like a flock, and their children dance around.

You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children.’ Let it be paid back to them, so that they may know it.

If their children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and their offspring have not enough to eat.

when the Almighty was still with me, when my children were around me,

Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?

After this Job lived one hundred and forty years and saw his children and his children’s children, four generations.
