jeremiah 5:8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

jeremiah 5:8 "They were well-fed lusty horses, Each one neighing after his neighbor's wife.

8. in the morning-- (Isa 5:11). "Rising early in the morning" is a phrase for unceasing eagerness in any pursuit; such was the Jews' avidity after idol-worship. MAURER translates from a different Hebrew root, "continually wander to and fro," inflamed with lust (Jer 2:23). But English Version is simpler (compare Jer 13:27; Eze 22:11).

jeremiah 5:8 "They were well-fed lusty horses, Each one neighing after his neighbor's wife.
