4All of them commit adultery; d

they are like an oven heated by a baker

who stops stirring the fire

from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

5On the day of our king,

the princes are sick with the heat of wine e—

there is a conspiracy with traitors. f

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, g

and they consume their rulers. h

All their kings fall;

not one of them calls on Me. i

He stretched out his hand with scorners.

In the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

They are all hot as an oven,

And have devoured their judges;

All their kings are fallen:

There is none among them that calleth unto me.
