(A)With their wickedness they make the (B)king happy,
And the officials with their (C)lies.
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.
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,
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.
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.
