Hosea 7:3-7
Authorized (King James) Version
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine;
he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait:
their baker sleepeth all the night;
in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges;
all their kings are fallen:
there is none among them that calleth unto me.

4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our king, the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while theylie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen; there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
