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.
Hosea 7:5
On the day of our king, the officials became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
Hosea 7:6
For their hearts are like an oven As they approach their plotting; Their anger smolders all night, In the morning it burns like flaming fire.
Hosea 7:7
All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me.
