They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. The people have turned the abundance they received into an occasion for unfaithfulness. The prophets who announce security are accused of speaking falsely, but Jeremiah declares that God’s word will be like fire. False prophecy attempts to domesticate judgment, while the authentic word retains the power to confront and consume.

Ein jeglicher wiehert nach seines Nächsten Weib wie die vollen, müßigen Hengste.
Como caballos bien hartos fueron a la mañana, cada cual relinchaba a la mujer de su prójimo.
Eran caballos bien alimentados y fogosos; cada uno relinchaba por la mujer de su prójimo.
Semblables à des chevaux bien nourris, qui courent çà et là, Ils hennissent chacun après la femme de son prochain.
Quando si levano la mattina, son come cavalli ben pasciuti: ciascun di loro ringhia dietro alla moglie del suo prossimo.
Como cavalos bem fartos, levantam-se pela manhã, rinchando cada um à mulher do seu próximo.
他們如餵飽的馬,精力旺盛, 各向鄰舍的妻子吹哨。
