Contextual Overview
16 "I have never refused to help the poor. I always gave widows what they needed. 17 I have never been selfish with my food. I shared what I had with orphans. 18 All my life I have been like a father to orphans and have taken care of widows. 19 Whenever I found people suffering because they didn't have clothes or saw a poor man with no coat, 20 I always gave them something to wear. I used the wool from my own sheep to make them warm. And they thanked me with all their heart. 21 I never threatened an orphan, even when I knew I had support in court. 22 If I ever did that, may my arm be pulled from its socket and fall from my shoulder! 23 But I didn't do any of these bad things. I fear God's punishment too much. His majesty scares me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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. Job denies he had seen any such; not that he had never seen persons in such perishing circumstances; but he had not seen them as to "despise" them, as the Vulgate Latin version, as to have them in contempt, or look at them with disdain because of their poverty and rags, or sordid apparel; or so as to "overlook" them, as the Septuagint version, to neglect them, and to take no notice of them, and make no provision for their clothing, a warm and comfortable garment, as in Job 31:20:
or any poor without covering; 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
If I have seen any perish ... - He turns to another virtue of the same general class - that of providing for the poor. The meaning is clear, that he had always assisted the poor and needy.
