Hosea 7:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 On the festal day of their king,
the princes become inflamed with wine
while the king extends his hand
to those who mock him.[a]
6 For they are heated like ovens
while their heart burns within them.
All through the night their passion slumbers;
in the morning it blazes forth like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are as hot as ovens,
and they consume their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
not one of them calls out to me.
