Hosea 7:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ They are ^(A)all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker
Who ceases to stir up the fire
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
⁵ On the ^[a]day of our king, the princes ^(B)became sick with the heat of wine;
He stretched out his hand with ^(C)scoffers,
⁶ For their hearts are like an ^(D)oven
As they approach their ^[b]plotting;
Their ^[c]anger ^[d]smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
