A church father on this verse
“"The day of our king: the princes began to rage from wine: he stretched out his hand with the mockers." LXX: "The days of your kings. The princes began to rave from wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilences." A dark place and in need of the attentive reader's sense, so that we may first understand the history.…”

In context
3They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
— Hosea 7:5 —
6Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burned up as a flame of fire.
7They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
