The idle steward could not see ...... on the wall, and he lost his job.
The sentence refers to the idiomatic expression “see the writing on the wall.” This idiom means to recognise warning signs that something bad or inevitable is going to happen.
So the sentence means:
The idle steward could not see the writing on the wall, and he lost his job.
This implies that the steward failed to notice the clear signs that his behaviour would lead to losing his job.
