Hosea 7:3-7
International Standard Version
3 They please the king with their evil,
and the princes with their dishonesty.
4 All of them are adulterers—
they burn like an oven prepared by the baker,
who has ceased stoking it
until the dough is leavened.
5 “On the king’s festival day
the princes got drunk from wine,
so the king[a] joined the mockers.
6 For they have stirred up themselves[b] like an oven
as they lie in ambush.
Their baker sleeps through the night;
in the morning, the oven[c] will be blazing like a fire.
7 They all burn like an oven;
they have consumed their judges;
all their kings have fallen—
not even one of them calls on me.
