Hosea 7:2-7
Hosea 7:2-7 NCV
It never enters their minds that I remember all their evil deeds. The bad things they do are all around them; they are right in front of me. “They make the king happy with their wickedness; their rulers are glad with their lies. But all of them are traitors. They are like an oven heated by a baker. While he mixes the dough, he does not need to stir up the fire. The kings get so drunk they get sick every day. The rulers become crazy with wine; they make agreements with those who do not know the true God. They burn like an oven; their hearts burn inside them. All night long their anger is low, but when morning comes, it becomes a roaring fire. All these people are as hot as an oven; they burn up their rulers. All their kings fall, and no one calls on me.
