In context
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.
— Hosea 7:8 —
9Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew it not; and gray hairs came upon him, and he knew it not.
10And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
