Verse 8
8. Fed horses The lechery of horses is alluded to in many passages, for example, Ezekiel 23:20. In Ezekiel 22:11, the thing stated in this verse is brought out more plainly and fully.
In the morning Many suggestions have been made as to the meaning of the original word thus translated, as “from meshech,” “stallions,” “draught horses,” “lustful,” etc. The least doubtful thing is, that the sense of the word is missed in the Authorized Version, though some are still disposed to defend it. The view which best commends itself is, that the word is a Hiphil participle, from the root which means to wander, and hence should be rendered, as in the Ethiopic, they roam about.
