Hosea 7:5-10 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers.

6. For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.

7. They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings have fallen: there is none among them that calls unto me.

8. Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

9. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knows not.

10. And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
