Job 29:13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The blessing of him that was ready to perish Who was in danger of losing his life or estate, by the malice and tyranny of wicked men; came upon me Both he, and others for his sake, blessed me, and begged that God would bless me. I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy For her great and unexpected deliverance. Widows are the common objects of injuries and oppressions, because they are generally unable to defend themselves from the violence of their oppressors, or to offend those who molest them.

Job 29:13

13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
