EXPLANATION

Verse 7. Fatness. Abundance, and temporal prosperity, which have encouraged them in their iniquity; and made them give themselves up to their irregular affections. Challoner.—This sense is better than the modern Hebrew affords. Bert.—“Their eyes stand out with fatness.” Prot. Bible.—Into. Hebrew “the thoughts of the heart,” or their utmost expectations; ( Bible.) or “they have executed the devices of their heart;” which come to the same. Bert.—They have done what mischief they could. Worthington.
