Hosea 7:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶For they have stirred up themselves^[a] like an oven
    as they lie in ambush.
Their baker sleeps through the night;
    in the morning, the oven^[b] will be blazing like a fire.
⁷They all burn like an oven;
    they have consumed their judges;
all their kings have fallen—
    not even one of them calls on me.

⁸“Ephraim compromises with^[c] the nations;
he’s a half-baked cake.^[d]
