[7:3] The Lord says, “People deceive the king and his officers by their evil plots.
[7:4] They are all treacherous and disloyal. Their hatred smolders like the fire in an oven, which is not stirred by the baker until the dough is ready to bake.
[7:5] On the day of the king's celebration they made the king and his officials drunk and foolish with wine.
[7:6] Yes, they burned like an oven with their plotting. All night their anger smoldered, and in the morning it burst into flames.
[7:7] “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.”
