Hosea 7:3-5

Modern English Version

³ They make the king glad with their wickedness,
    and the princes with their lies.
⁴ They are all adulterers,
    like an oven heated by a baker,
who ceases stirring the fire
    after kneading the dough until it is leavened.
⁵ On the day of our king the princes made him sick
    from the heat of wine.
    He stretched out his hand with scorners.
