OLBGrk;
Fed horses, to note the greatness and unruliness of their lust, pampered horses being most wanton, like that Deuteronomy 32:15. In the morning: it is questioned whether morning relates to horses or to men; if to horses, then they are compared to stallions, that having been fed to the full over-night, and lain at ease, in the morning they are most lusty; but rather it seems to relate to men, showing that they were very early in going about their filthinesses, Zephaniah 3:7, following their uncleanness with as great eagerness as it is said that drunkards follow strong drink, Isaiah 5:11. Every one neighed after his neighbour's wife, i.e. with an impetuous earnestness and unwearied hunting, they sought after the adulteresses to satisfy their beastly lusts. It notes,
1. The strength of their lust, a thing in horses much taken notice of by authors.
2. The unbridledness and uncontrollableness of it, as is seen in the pampered horses hunting after the mare, of which neighing is a sign, thus expressed Jeremiah 13:27. Thus the Grecians would express men extremely libidinous by the word ippobinoi, and ippopornoi, and that they do ippomanein, so the LXX., and thus described Ezekiel 22:11.
