5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with a wineskin; he stretched out his hand with the scorners. 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.
7 They are all hot as an oven and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen; there is no one among them that calls unto me.
