And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose 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.

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a small sound of it.

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
