Footnotes
- 58 A servant coming to power could become a tyrant if he is unaccustomed to the use of such power, or he might retain the attitude of a servant and be useless as a leader.
- 59 Heb “filled with food” (so ); “satisfied with food”; , “glutted with food”; “who eats too much”; “who prospers.” The expression stuffed with food probably represents prosperity in general. So the line portrays someone who suddenly comes into wealth, but continues to be boorish and irreligious.
