Why is tibi dative here? 58.2

quid faciat, crucis offla, corvorum cibaria.
curabo, iam tibi Iovis iratus sit, et isti qui tibi non imperat.

I'm not sure why the first tibi is dative (and consequently isti)? Dative of reference is the only thing I can come up with.

"iratus" takes a dative regularly for the person someone is angry at. The verb iratus is a participle of, irascor, also takes the dative. (though iratus isn't really used as a proper participle, it's felt as an adjective).

This passage is also interesting because Iovis is nominative (normally the nominative is Iuppiter).

Thanks very much, Dantius :)
