Hosea 7:3-7
New American Standard Bible
3 (A)With their wickedness they make the (B)king happy,
And the officials with their (C)lies.
4 They are (D)all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker,
Who stops [a]stoking the fire
From the time the dough is kneaded until it is leavened.
5 On the [b]day of our king, the officials (E)became sick with the heat of wine;
He stretched out his hand with [c](F)scoffers,
6 For their hearts are like an (G)oven
As they approach their [d]plotting;
Their [e]anger [f]smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot like an oven,
And they consume their (H)rulers;
All their kings have fallen.
(I)None of them calls on Me.
Hosea 7:3-7
Lexham English Bible
3 By their wickedness they make the king glad,
and the officials by their treacheries.
4 All of them commit adultery,
like a burning oven
whose baker has stopped from stirring the fire,
and from kneading the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king, the princes
became sick with the heat of wine;[a]
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 Because they are kindled[b] like an oven,
their heart burns within them;
all night their anger smolders,[c]
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour[d] their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
there is none who calls to me amongst them.
