Job 1:5
Study it in the app“And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them; he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all, for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed Elohim in their hearts.” Thus Job would do all the days.”

Translation note
“Cursed”: the Hebrew writes “blessed.” It is a respectful way of writing, so as not to put “curse” next to the name of God; the sense is “curse” (likewise in 1:11; 2:5, 9 and in 1 Kings 21:10).
The context
