The Great Reversal
Commentators explain that this verse predicts a dramatic reversal of fortunes. Those who reject God, particularly through idolatrous feasting, will face literal and spiritual hunger. Scholars note a specific historical fulfillment when Christians, warned by God, fled Jerusalem before its destruction and were provided for, while those who remained suffered a terrible famine.
