2. And they say not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.
3. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4. They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring the fire after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5. In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.
6. For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.
7. They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8. Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
