For their hearts are like an (A)oven
As they approach their [a]plotting;
Their [b]anger [c]smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like flaming fire.
All of them are hot like an oven,
And they consume their (B)rulers;
All their kings have fallen.
(C)None of them calls on Me.

Ephraim is himself (D)thrown about with the [d]nations;
Ephraim has become a round loaf not turned over.
