Hosea 7:4

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.

In context

2 But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.

3 They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.

4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.

5 The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.

6 For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
