Jeremiah 5:8 Commentary: Rashi

סוּסִ֥ים מְיֻזָּנִ֖ים מַשְׁכִּ֣ים הָי֑וּ אִ֛ישׁ אֶל־אֵ֥שֶׁת רֵעֵ֖הוּ יִצְהָֽלוּ׃

They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; Every one neigheth after his neighbour’s wife.

Rashi on Jeremiah

Like armed stallions they would arise early Like these stallions who are armed with erect membra, every morning they would arise at daybreak.
