Job 29:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The blessing, wherewith both he and others for his sake blessed me, and begged that God would bless me. To perish; to lose his life or estate by the malice and tyranny of wicked men. The widow's heart; who are the common objects of injuries and oppressions, because for the most part they are unable, either to offend those who molest them, or to defend themselves from their violence. To sing for joy, for her great and unexpected deliverance.

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.
