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

Verse 13 is found in chapter 29 of Job. Job remembers how he helped the poor, the orphan, and those in need, and how his righteousness gave him moral authority. His former greatness is described primarily through service and defense of the vulnerable, not merely through wealth. This memory strengthens his argument that his present suffering cannot simply be explained as punishment for a life characterized by injustice.

Der Segen des, der verderben sollte, kam über mich; und ich erfreute das Herz der Witwe.
La bendición del que se iba a perder venía sobre mí; Y al corazón de la viuda daba alegría.
La bendición del que estaba a punto de perecer venía sobre mí; yo hacía cantar de alegría el corazón de la viuda.
La bénédiction du malheureux venait sur moi; Je remplissais de joie le coeur de la veuve.
La benedizione di chi periva veniva sopra me; Ed io faceva cantare il cuor della vedova.
A bênção do que ia perecendo vinha sobre mim, e eu fazia que rejubilasse o coração da viúva.
將要滅亡的為我祝福, 我使寡婦心中歡呼。
