Job 29:13

“the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.”

Verse in context — Job 29

For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:

Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had none to help him,

the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
