Commentators agree this verse paints a picture of universal worship. The 'fat ones of the earth' (the rich and prosperous) and 'they that go down to the dust' (the poor, oppressed, and dying) represent the entire spectrum of humanity. This shows that Christ's salvation is offered to every person, regardless of their wealth, social status, or physical condition.
