Hosea 7:1-7

1When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.

2And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.

3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

4They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

5In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.

6For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.

7They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
