Psalms 119:70

Their heart is as fat as grease— Or, Is gross, as with fat. Or, Gross as fat. Houb. By this fatness of the heart, stupidity, dullness, and earthly-mindedness are designed, as pinguis Minerva signifies among the Latins. The lean, membraneous parts, are, according to the naturalists, the only sensitive ones. It has been well observed, that the translation of this place in our Liturgy, Their heart is as fat as brawn, is very improper; because, swine's flesh not being eaten among the Jews, they could have no knowledge of brawn; nor is there a word in their language to express it.
