5 On the day of our king the officials became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers. 6 For they are kindled like an oven, their heart burns within them; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire. 7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me. Hosea 7:5-7, NRSV Catholic Edition. Copyright © 1989, 1993 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ.
