Hosea 7:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ For they are heated like ovens
    while their heart burns within them.
All through the night their passion slumbers;
    in the morning it blazes forth like a flaming fire.
⁷ All of them are as hot as ovens,
    and they consume their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
    not one of them calls out to me.

⁸ Ephraim mixes with the nations;
    Ephraim is a half-baked cake.^[a]
