For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 6 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.

Denn ihr Herz ist in heißer Andacht wie ein Backofen, wenn sie opfern und die Leute betrügen; ihr Bäcker schläft die ganze Nacht, und des Morgens brennt er lichterloh.
Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante a un horno, a sus artificios: toda la noche duerme su hornero; a la mañana está encendido como llama de fuego.
Ils appliquent aux embûches leur coeur pareil à un four; Toute la nuit dort leur boulanger, Et au matin le four brûle comme un feu embrasé.
Quando recano il cuor loro, che è simile ad un forno, alle lor insidie, il lor fornaio dorme tutta la notte, e la mattina il forno è acceso come fuoco di vampa.
Porque, prepararam o coração como um forno, na sua emboscada; toda a noite dorme o seu padeiro, pela manhã arde como fogo de chama.
他們臨近,心裏如火爐一般, 他們等待,如烤餅的整夜睡覺, 到了早晨卻如火焰熊熊。
