This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
desiring to be fed with - but was not [Grotius, Bengel, Meyer, Trench, etc.]. The words may mean indeed “was fain to feed on,” or “gladly fed on,” as in Luk 15:16 [Alford, Webster and Wilkinson, etc.]. But the context rather favors the former.
licked, etc. - a touching act of brute pity, in the absence of human relief. It is a case of heartless indifference, amidst luxuries of every kind, to one of God’s poorest and most afflicted ones, presented daily before the eye.
