NET Bible
"They are like lusty, well-fed stallions. Each of them lusts after his neighbor’s wife."
— Jeremiah 5:8, NET Bible
“They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.”
“they were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife. ”
“They were as fed horses roaming at large: everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.”
“They are become as amorous horses and stallions: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.”
“They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.”
“They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.”
I will go to the leaders and speak with them. Surely they know what the LORD demands. Surely they know what their God requires of them.” Yet all of them, too, have rejected his authority and refuse to submit to him.
So like a lion from the thicket their enemies will kill them. Like a wolf from the rift valley they will destroy them. Like a leopard they will lie in wait outside their cities and totally destroy anyone who ventures out. For they have rebelled so much and done so many unfaithful things.
The LORD asked,“How can I leave you unpunished, Jerusalem? Your people have rejected me and have worshiped gods that are not gods at all. Even though I supplied all their needs, they were like an unfaithful wife to me. They went flocking to the houses of prostitutes.
They are like lusty, well-fed stallions. Each of them lusts after his neighbor’s wife.
I will surely punish them for doing such things!” says the LORD.“I will surely bring retribution on such a nation as this!”
The LORD commanded the enemy,“March through the vineyards of Israel and Judah and ruin them. But do not destroy them completely. Strip off their branches for these people do not belong to the LORD.
For the nations of Israel and Judah have been very unfaithful to me,”says the LORD.
