Jeremiah 8:6
spake not aright—that is, not so as penitently to confess that they acted wrong. Compare what follows.
every one . . . his course—The Keri reads "course," but the Chetib, "courses." "They persevere in the courses whatever they have once entered on." Their wicked ways were diversified.
horse rusheth—literally, "pours himself forth," as water that has burst its embankment. The mad rapidity of the war horse is the point of comparison (Job 39:19-25).
