Hosea 7:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ By their wickedness they make the king glad,
    and the officials by their treachery.
⁴ They are all adulterers;
    they are like a heated oven,
whose baker does not need to stir the fire,
    from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
⁵ On the day of our king the officials
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.
