In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 7 of Hosea. The oven represents a political conspiracy that continues burning until the moment to attack arrives. Kings and princes are murdered in a succession of violence. Hosea shows that religious unfaithfulness has also destroyed political stability. The nation that should live under justice becomes trapped in a cycle of conspiracies and assassinations.

Heute ist unsers Königs Fest sprechen sie, da fangen die Fürsten an, vom Wein toll zu werden; so zieht er die Spötter zu sich.
El día de nuestro rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con vasos de vino: extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
En el día de nuestro rey, los príncipes se enfermaron con el ardor del vino; él tendió la mano a los burladores.
Au jour de notre roi, Les chefs se rendent malades par les excès du vin; Le roi tend la main aux moqueurs.
Nel giorno del nostro re, i principi l’han sopraffatto con l’ardore del vino; egli ha stesa la sua mano co’ giullari.
E no dia do nosso rei os príncipes se tornaram doentes com frascos de vinho; ele estendeu a sua mão com os escarnecedores.
在我們君王宴樂的日子, 官長因酒的烈性而生病 , 王與褻慢的人握手。
