Giobbe 31:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 31:19

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing
A man may be in such poor circumstances as to want proper clothing to cover his naked body with, and preserve it from the inclemencies of the weather, and for want of it be ready to perish or die with cold.

without clothing sufficient to cover himself with, and keep him warm; Job had seen such objects, but he did not leave them in such a condition; he saw them, and had compassion on them, and clothed them.

19 se ho visto uno perire per mancanza di vesti o il povero senza una coperta,

20 se non m’hanno benedetto i suoi fianchi, ed egli non s’è riscaldato colla lana dei miei agnelli,

21 se ho levato la mano contro l’orfano perché mi sapevo sostenuto alla porta…
