4 They are all adulterers,like an oven heated by a baker,who ceases stirring the fireafter kneading the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king the princes made him sickfrom the heat of wine.He stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they are kindled like an oven.Their heart burns within them;their anger smolders all night;in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven,and they devour their judges.All their kings have fallen,and none of them calls to Me.
8 Ephraim mixes himself with the people.Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Foreigners devour his strength,but he does not know it.Gray hairs are here and there upon him,but he does not know it.
10 The pride of Israel testifies against him,but they do not return to the Lord their God,nor seek Him for all this.
