Israel’s Evil Kings

“They make the king happy with their wickedness;
    their rulers are glad with their lies.
But all of them are traitors.
    They are like an oven heated by a baker.
While he mixes the dough,
    he does not need to stir up the fire.
The kings get so drunk they get sick every day.
    The rulers become crazy with wine;
    they make agreements with those who do not know the true God.
They burn like an oven;
    their hearts burn inside them.
All night long their anger is low,
    but when morning comes, it becomes a roaring fire.
All these people are as hot as an oven;
    they burn up their rulers.
All their kings fall,
    and no one calls on me.
