Continuation of my Contentions Series
24. Blake?s Job shows that repentance can never be paid for.
Interpretation:
Blake’s Job refers to William Blakes engraved illustrations of the Book of Job. I have not seen these illustrations. The story of Job is one of true patience. I suggest that by “repentance can never be paid for” the Shaykh is saying that the Mercy of God, the ability to be forgiven for our sins is something very precious and cannot be valued enough.
