Kisha Yobu akasimama, akararua mavazi yake, akanyoa nywele zake, akajitupa chini na kumwabudu Mungu. Akasema,
“Uchi nilikuja duniani,
uchi nitaondoka duniani;
Mwenyezi-Mungu amenipa,
Mwenyezi-Mungu amechukua;
litukuzwe jina lake Mwenyezi-Mungu.”
Katika mambo haya yote Yobu hakutenda dhambi wala hakumfikiria Mungu kuwa ana kosa.
