They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
They that did feed delicately - on dainties. Are desolate - or, perish.
They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. Instead of the scarlet couches on which the grandees were nursed, they must lie on dunghills. "Embrace;" they who once shrank sensitively from any soil, gladly cling close to heaps of filth as their only resting-place. Compare "embrace the rock," Job 24:8.
