²⁷ Can fire be carried in the bosom
    without burning one’s clothes?

⁴ They are all adulterers;
    they are like a heated oven
whose baker does not need to stir the fire
    from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.^(A)
5 On the day of our king the officials
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.^(B)
6 For they are kindled^[a] like an oven; their heart burns within them;
    all night their anger smolders;
    in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
⁷ All of them are hot as an oven,
    and they devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
    none of them calls upon me.^(C)
