Hosea 7:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ The people make their secret plans.
    Their hearts burn with excitement like an oven.
Their excitement burns all night,
    and in the morning it is like a hot fire.
⁷ They are all like hot ovens.
    They destroyed their rulers.
All their kings fell.
    Not one of them called to me for help.

⁸ “Ephraim mixes with the nations.
    Ephraim is like a cake that was not cooked on both sides.
