Hosea 7:3-7
Legacy Standard Bible
3 (A)With their evil they make the (B)king glad,
And the princes with their (C)deceptions.
4 They are (D)all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker
Who ceases to stir up the fire
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the [a]day of our king, the princes (E)became sick with the heat of wine;
He stretched out his hand with (F)scoffers,
6 For their hearts are like an (G)oven
As they draw near in their [b]plotting;
Their [c]anger [d]smolders all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot like an oven,
And they devour their (H)judges;
All their kings have fallen.
(I)None of them calls on Me.
Hosea 7:3-7
New King James Version
4 “They(C) are all adulterers.
Like an oven heated by a baker—
He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
Until it is leavened.
5 In the day of our king
Princes have made him sick, [a]inflamed with (D)wine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
6 They prepare their heart like an oven,
While they lie in wait;
[b]Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot, like an oven,
And have devoured their judges;
All their kings have fallen.
(E)None among them calls upon Me.
