⁹ “O Israel, you have sinned from the days of ^(A)Gibeah;
There they stood.
The ^(B)battle in Gibeah against the children of ^[a]iniquity
Did not ^[b]overtake them.

⁴ “They^(A) 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 ^(B)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.
^(C)None among them calls upon Me.

⁷ “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And ^(A)sworn by those ^(B)that are not gods.
^(C)When I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
^8 (D)They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
Every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
