Expanded Bible

¹⁵ So he ·got a job with [hired himself out to] one of the citizens there who sent the son into the fields to feed pigs [^Cdegrading work, since pigs were ritually unclean and detestable animals to Jews]. ¹⁶ The son was so hungry that he wanted to ·eat [or fill his stomach with] the pods the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. ¹⁷ When he ·realized what he was doing [came to his senses; ^Lcame to himself], he thought, ‘All of my father’s ·servants [hired workers] have ·plenty of [more than enough; abundant] ·food [bread]. But I am here, ·almost dying [perishing] with hunger.
