Context of Hosea 7:7
5On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers. 6For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. 8Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges - Plans of sin, sooner or later, through God‘s overruling providence, bound back upon their authors. The wisdom of God‘s justice and of His government shows itself the more, in that, without any apparent agency of His own, the sin is guided by Him through all the intricate mazes of human passion, malice, and cunning, back to the sinner‘s bosom. Jeroboam, and the kings who followed him, had…Read the comment
