SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:17

y si comí mi bocado solo, y no comió de él el huérfano;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:17

Verse 17. Or have eaten my morsel myself alone ] Hospitality was a very prominent
virtue among the ancients in almost all nations: friends and strangers were equally welcome to the board of the affluent. The supper was their grand meal: it was then that they saw their friends; the business and fatigues of the day being over, they could then enjoy themselves comfortably together. The supper was called coena on this account; or, as Plutarch says, to men gar deipnon fasi koina dia thn koinwnian kaleisqai kaqÆ eautouv gar hristwn epieikwv oi palai rwmaioi, sundeipnountev toiv filoiv. "The ancient Romans named supper COENA, (koina,) which signifies communion (koinwnia) or fellowship; for although they dined alone, they supped with their friends." - PLUT. Symp. lib. viii., prob. 6, p. 687. But Job speaks here of dividing his bread with the hungry: Or have eaten my morsel myself alone. And he is a poor despicable caitiff who would eat it alone, while there was another at hand, full as hungry as himself.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-23 - Job's conscience gave
testimony concerning his just and charitabl behaviour toward the poor. He is most large upon this head, because in this matter he was particularly accused. He was tender of all, an hurtful to none. Notice the principles by which Job was restrained from being uncharitable and unmerciful. He stood in awe of the Lord, a certainly against him, if he should wrong the poor. Regard to worldl interests may restrain a man from actual crimes; but the grace of God alone can make him hate, dread, and shun sinful thoughts and desires.
