Hosea 7:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶For they—their hearts like an oven—
draw him into their oven.
Their anger smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

⁷All of them are as hot as an oven,^(A)
and they consume their rulers.^(B)
All their kings fall;
not one of them calls on me.^[a]
⁸Ephraim has allowed himself to get mixed up with the nations.
Ephraim is unturned bread baked on a griddle.
