Hosea

²And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face. ³They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. ⁴They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened. ⁵On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. ⁶For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as 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. ⁸Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
