Hosea 7:3-7

The Voice

³ The king celebrates their evil deeds,
    and princes enjoy their deceptions.
⁴ All of them are adulterers with unquenchable lust.
    They are like an oven overheated by a baker,
An oven so hot it doesn’t need to be stoked for several hours
    from the time the dough is kneaded until it finishes rising.

⁵ Eternal One: When the king was celebrating^[a] and the princes were sick with drunkenness,
        his conscience was dulled and he joined forces with rebels.
⁶     Their hearts are like a heated oven as they plot their schemes.
        All night their anger smolders, but at dawn it blazes into a flaming fire.
⁷     All of them are as hot as an oven,
        and they consume their own judges.
    All of their kings have fallen; none of them calls on Me.
