Hosea 7:3-7
World English Bible
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers.
They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,
from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine.
He joined his hand with mockers.
6 For they have prepared their heart like an oven,
while they lie in wait.
Their baker sleeps all the night.
In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven,
and devour their judges.
All their kings have fallen.
There is no one among them who calls to 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.
