This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They eat the bread of wickedness: the sense is either,
1. Wickedness is as necessary and as pleasant to them as their bread; which suits well with the former verse. Or,
2. They live wholly upon what they get by wicked courses; which gives the reason of what he last said, why they could not sleep without prey.
The wine of violence, i.e. gotten by violence. See on the former clause.
