Hosea 7:4 Context
2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember al their wickednesse: now their owne doings haue beset them about, they are before my face. 3They make the king glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies. 4They are al adulterers, as an ouen heated by the baker: who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, vntill it be leauened. 5In the day of our King, the princes haue made him sicke with bottels of wine, he stretched out his hand with scorners. 6For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
