Hosea 7:3-7

English Standard Version

³ By their evil ^(A)they make ^(B)the king glad,
    and the princes by their treachery.
^4 (C)They are all adulterers;
    they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
    from the kneading of the dough
    until it is leavened.
⁵ On the day of ^(D)our king, the princes
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.
⁶ For with hearts like an oven ^(E)they approach their intrigue;
    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 ^(F)their kings ^(G)have fallen,
    and none of them calls upon me.
