Hosea 7:5

Ephraim's Guilt

⁴ They are all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker
Who ceases to stir up the fire
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
⁵ On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
⁶ For their hearts are like an oven
As they approach their plotting;
Their anger smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
