I've sung as part of the Bach Magnificat many times; as the mezzo/alto I always get the "Esurientes implevit bonis." I have always been pleased by the fact that Bach, hard-working craftsperson that he was, not only refused to omit the "et divites dimisit inanes" --the second half of the line -- but embroiders it lavishly so you can't miss it.
