Hosea 7:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ On Our King’s Day, the leaders get so drunk that they get sick.
    They become crazy with wine
    and make agreements with people who laugh at God.
⁶ The people make their secret plans.
    Their hearts burn with excitement like an oven.
Their excitement burns all night,
    and in the morning it is like a hot fire.
⁷ They are all like hot ovens.
    They destroyed their rulers.
All their kings fell.
    Not one of them called to me for help.
