Psalm 113:7 (b) In the Orient, extremely poor people would bury their arms and legs in the dung heap in order to keep warm in cold weather. This is typical of the people of the world who bury themselves in the pleasures and practices of the wicked in order to obtain joy, peace and pleasure. (See also1Sa 2:8).

Lamentations 4:5 (b) This typifies the rich who, in their degenerate aristocracy, are no longer able to enjoy the palace but now seek pleasures in the offal which the earth produces.
