Hosea 7:4-6
Contemporary English Version

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]

6 Their anger is a fire
that smolders all night,
    then flares up at dawn.
