Hosea 7:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ But all of them are traitors.
    They are like an oven heated by a baker.
While he mixes the dough,
    he does not stir up the flame.
⁵ They hold a festival day for the king.
    On that day the rulers become drunk with wine.
    The king joins in with those who had made evil plans.
⁶ They approach him with murder in mind.
    Their hearts are like a hot oven.
All night long its fire is low.
    When morning comes, it is fanned into flame.
