Verse 5
5. On the earth Spoken, as above said, as if from the judgment throne.
Wanton Lascivious, as a result of wealth and luxury.
Nourished Fattened like swine.
In a day of slaughter The crime lasted so as to be, as it were, in the very time of the penalty. The penalty was so sudden as to be in the day of the crime. The (rather, a) day of slaughter ever interrupts the days of oppression, luxury, and lust. So it was in the Jewish state, the Roman empire, the French revolution, and, finally, our own days of slaveholding.
