Jeremiah 5:8
_ _ 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. Maurer translates from a different Hebrew root, “continually wander to and fro,” inflamed with lust (Jeremiah 2:23). But English Version is simpler (compare Jeremiah 13:27; Ezekiel 22:11). |
