Hosea 7:2-5 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

2. It never enters their mindsthat I remember all their wicked deeds.The bad things they do are all around,and I can see their sins clearly.

3. “They make the king happy with their wickedness.They make their rulers glad with their lies.

4. But all of them are traitors.They are like an oven heated by a baker.While he mixes the dough,he does not stir up the flame.

5. They hold a festival day for the king.On that day the rulers become drunk with wine.The king joins in with those who had made evil plans.
