They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
In the morning - (Isaiah 5:11). 'Rising early in the morning' is a phrase for unceasing eagerness in any pursuit; such was the Jews' avidity after idol worship х mashkiym (H7904) for mashkiymiym] (Gesenius). Maurer translates, from a different Hebrew root х shaakaah (H7904)], 'continually wander to and fro,' inflamed with lust (Jeremiah 2:23). But the English version is simpler (cf. Jeremiah 13:27; Ezekiel 22:11), from х shaakam (H7925)], to rise in the morning. As God sent all His prophets "rising up early and sending them" (Jeremiah 7:25), so the people, on the contrary rose early "in the morning" in the eagerness of their pursuit after sin.
