Hosea 7:3-7

7:3

They make the king
<04428>

glad
<08055> (8762)

with their wickedness
<07451>_,

and the princes
<08269>

with their lies
<03585>_.

7:4

They [are] all adulterers
<05003> (8764)_,

as an oven
<08574>

heated
<01197> (8802)

by the baker
<0644> (8802)_,

[who] ceaseth
<07673> (8799)

from raising
<05782> (8800)

after he hath kneaded
<03888> (8800)

the dough
<01217>_,

until it be leavened
<02556> (8800)_.

{who...: or, the raiser will cease} {raising: or, waking}

7:5

In the day
<03117>

of our king
<04428>

the princes
<08269>

have made [him] sick
<02470> (8689)

with bottles
<02534>

of wine
<03196>_;

he stretched out
<04900> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

with scorners
<03945> (8802)_.

{bottles...: or, heat through wine}

7:6

For they have made ready
<07126> (8765)

their heart
<03820>

like an oven
<08574>_,

whiles they lie in wait
<0693> (8800)_:

their baker
<0644> (8802)

sleepeth
<03463>

all the night
<03915>_;

in the morning
<01242>

it burneth
<01197> (8802)

as a flaming
<03852>

fire
<0784>_.

{made...: or, applied}

7:7

They are all hot
<02552> (8735)

as an oven
<08574>_,

and have devoured
<0398> (8804)

their judges
<08199> (8802)_;

all their kings
<04428>

are fallen
<05307> (8804)_:

[there is] none among them that calleth
<07121> (8802)

unto me.
