The Danger of a "Fat Heart"
Commentators explain that a heart "as fat as grease" is not a physical compliment but a description of a spiritual condition. It signifies a heart that is dull, unfeeling, and insensitive to God. Scholars like Spurgeon and Gill note this state is often caused by being glutted with worldly prosperity and pride, leading to a hardened conscience and spiritual stupor.
