Hosea 7:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ On the day of the king's celebration they made the king and his officials drunk and foolish with wine. ⁶ Yes, they burned^[a] like an oven with their plotting. All night their anger smoldered, and in the morning it burst into flames.

⁷ “In the heat of their anger they murdered their rulers. Their kings have been assassinated one after another, but no one prays to me for help.”
