Jó 31:17

17 se comi meu pão sozinho,sem compartilhá-lo com o órfão,

Jó 31:17 Meaning and Commentary

Job 31:17

Or have eaten my morsel myself alone
Though he had kept no doubt a plentiful table in the time of his prosperity suitable to his circumstances, yet had been no luxurious person, and therefore calls provisions a "morsel"; however, be it what it would, more or less, he did not eat it alone; what he had for himself the poor had a share of it with him, and the same he ate himself he gave to them:

and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
meaning the poor fatherless: for as to the rich fatherless, it was no charity to feed them: this verse contradicts the charge exhibited against him, ( Job 22:7 ) .

16 “Se não atendi os desejos do pobre,ou se fatiguei os olhos da viúva,

17 se comi meu pão sozinho,sem compartilhá-lo com o órfão,

18 sendo que desde a minha juventude o criei como se fosse seu pai,e desde o nascimento guiei a viúva;

19 se vi alguém morrendo por falta de roupa,ou um necessitado sem cobertor,
