Hosea 7:4-11

4They are all adulterersH5003; they are as an ovenH8574 heated by the bakerH644; he ceaseth to stirH5782 the fire, from the kneadingH3888 of the doughH1217, until it be leavened. 5On the dayH3117 of our kingH4428 the princesH8269 made themselves sickH2470 with the heat of wineH3196; he stretched out his handH3027 with scoffers. 6For they have made ready their heartH3820 like an ovenH8574, while they lieH693 in waitH693: their bakerH644 sleepeth all the nightH3915; in the morningH1242 it burneth as a flamingH3852 fireH784. 7They are all hotH2552 as an ovenH8574, and devourH398 their judgesH8199; all their kingsH4428 are fallenH5307: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

8EphraimH669, he mixeth himself among the peoplesH5971; EphraimH669 is a cakeH5692 not turnedH2015. 9StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knoweth it not: yea, grayH7872 hairsH7872 are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not. 10And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: yet they have not returnedH7725 unto Jehovah their GodH430, nor soughtH1245 him, for all this. 11And EphraimH669 is like a silly doveH3123, without understanding: they callH7121 unto EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804.
