Hosea 7:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 The king and his officials
take great pleasure
    in their sin and deceit.
4 Everyone burns with desire—
they are like coals in an oven,
    ready to burst into flames.
5 On the day their king
    was crowned,
his officials got him drunk,
and he joined
    in their foolishness.[a]
