Haydock's commentary
Luxurious. Hebrew, "the feast of those who stretch themselves out, shall," &c. Septuagint, "the neighing shall be removed from Ephraim." His lusts shall be punished, Jeremias v. 8.
Some translate [the] Hebrew, "the mourning of those who stretch themselves on their beds is at hand." Others, "their funeral feast is distant." None shall bewail their death. So ambiguous is the original. (Calmet)
