Hosea 7:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ On the day of our king the officials
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.^(A)
6 For they are kindled^[a] like an oven; their heart burns within them;
    all night their anger smolders;
    in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
⁷ All of them are hot as an oven,
    and they devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
    none of them calls upon me.^(B)
