Hosea 7:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ They all commit adultery.
They are like a heated oven,
an oven so hot that a baker doesn’t have to fan its flames
when he makes bread.
⁵ On the day of the king’s celebration,
the officials become drunk from wine,
and the king joins mockers.
⁶ They become hot like an oven while they lie in ambush.
All night long their anger smolders,
but in the morning it burns like a raging fire.
