Exegesis
The construct chain sivʿat-leḥem {שִׂבְעַת־לֶחֶם | sivʿat-leḥem} ‘abundance of bread’ denotes surplus provision, and väšalvaṯ haššeqeṭ {וְשַׁלְוַת הַשְׁקֵט | väšalvaṯ haššeqeṭ} ‘prosperity of ease’ links calm with complacency.
In context — Ezekiel 16:49
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, abundance of bread, and prosperity of ease were hers and her daughters’, but she did not strengthen the hand of the poor .
