Hosea 7:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 Everyone burns with desire—
they are like coals in an oven,
ready to burst into flames.
5 On the day their king
was crowned,
his officials got him drunk,
and he joined
in their foolishness.[a]
6 Their anger is a fire
that smolders all night,
then flares up at dawn.
