John Calvin bangs on about widows and orphans, noting God’s odd fixation with mercy—specifically the unfashionable habit of defending people who’ve actually been wronged. These deeds, he says, oddly matter for the life to come.
Which is awkward, given how often “worthiness” now means private piety; “injustice” is reduced to middle-class inconveniences. Perhaps grace is chased by helping someone, not auditing your neighbour.

"All Along the Watchtower" is a song by American singer-songwriter #BobDylan from his eighth studio album, #JohnWesleyHarding (1967). The song was written by Dylan and produced by #BobJohnston. The song's lyrics, which in its original version contain twelve lines, feature a conversation between a joker and a thief. The song has been subject to various interpretations; some reviewers have noted that it echoes lines in the #BookOfIsaiah, Chapter 21, verses 5–9.
