{Ye have lived delicately} (etruph(8873)ate). First aorist
(constative, summary) active indicative of rupha(935c), old verb
from ruph(885c) (luxurious living as in Lu 7:25 , from hrupt(935c),
to break down, to enervate), to lead a soft life, only here in
N.T. {Taken your pleasure} (espatal(8873)ate). First aorist
(constative) active indicative of spatala(935c), late and rare verb
to live voluptuously or wantonly (from spatal(885c), riotous living,
wantonness, once as bracelet), in N.T. only here and 1Ti 5:6 .
{Ye have nourished} (ethrepsate). First aorist (constative)
active indicative of reph(935c), old verb, to feed, to fatten ( Mt
6:26 ). They are fattening themselves like sheep or oxen all
unconscious of "the day of slaughter" (en h(886d)er(8369) sphag(8873),
definite without the article) ahead of them. For this use of
sphag(8873) see Ro 8:36 (probata sphag(8873), sheep for the
slaughter, sphag(885c) from sphaz(935c), to slay), consummate sarcasm
on the folly of sinful rich people.
