if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—

Job 31:17 in context

The verses around it, from Job 31.

13 If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant when they made a complaint against me,

14 what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?

15 Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?

16 If I have denied the desires of the poor or allowed the widow’s eyes to fail,

17 if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—

18 though from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—

19 if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,

20 if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,

21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless because I saw that I had support in the gate,
