Hosea 7:1-4

When I would heal Israel, The wrongdoing of Ephraim is uncovered, And the evil deeds of Samaria, For they practice deception; The thief enters, A band of robbers attack outside,

And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds surround them; They are before My face.

With their wickedness they make the king happy, And the officials with their lies.

They are all adulterers, Like an oven heated by the baker, Who stops stoking the fire From the time the dough is kneaded until it is leavened.
