נַ֤עַר ׀ הָיִ֗יתִי גַּם־זָ֫קַ֥נְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָ֭אִיתִי צַדִּ֣יק נֶעֱזָ֑ב וְ֝זַרְע֗וֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם׃
我從前年幼，現在年老，卻從未見過義人被離棄，也未見過他的後裔討飯。
Zohar
R. Simeon said: ‘It has been laid down that the “poor child” here is the good prompter, the same as he who said of himself: “I have been young, and now am old” (Ps. 37, 25). He is called “poor child”, as he has no possession whatever of his own, and is called “youth” for the reason that he is constantly renewed in the same way as the moon; also he is wise, since wisdom dwells within him.
