This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
who ceaseth from raising - rather, “heating” it, from an Arabic root, “to be hot.” So the Septuagint. Their adulterous and idolatrous lust is inflamed as the oven of a baker who has it at such a heat that he ceaseth from heating it only from the time that he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened; he only needs to omit feeding it during the short period of the fermentation of the bread. Compare 2Pe 2:14, “that cannot cease from sin” [Henderson].
