Hosea 7:3-7
Christian Standard Bible
Israel’s Corruption
4 All of them commit adultery;(C)
they are like an oven heated by a baker
who stops stirring the fire
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king,
the princes are sick with the heat of wine(D)—
there is a conspiracy with traitors.[a]
6 For they—their hearts like an oven—
draw him into their oven.
Their anger smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are as hot as an oven,(E)
and they consume their rulers.(F)
All their kings fall;
not one of them calls on me.[b]

Israel’s Corruption
3 They please the king with their evil,(A)
the princes with their lies.(B)
4 All of them commit adultery;(C)
they are like an oven heated by a baker
who stops stirring the fire
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king,
the princes are sick with the heat of wine(D)—
there is a conspiracy with traitors.[a]
6 For they—their hearts like an oven—
draw him into their oven.
Their anger smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are as hot as an oven,(E)
and they consume their rulers.(F)
All their kings fall;
not one of them calls on Me.[b]
