Hosea 7:4

4 ^aThey are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.

Hosea 7:6-7

6 For with hearts like an oven ^bthey approach their intrigue;
all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All ^ctheir kings ^dhave fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
