     Explanation: In Hosea 7 the LORD uses various bakery images (among others) to describe Israel (called 'Ephraim,' for its chief tribe or 'Samaria,' for its capitol city). In their lusts they were like a heated oven. In their haste to sin they were like unleavened bread - - baked quickly, before it had a chance to rise. And, like a heated oven, they devoured their judges and their kings. In the words of Adam Clarke, "There was a pitiful slaughter among the idolatrous kings of Israel; four of them had fallen in the time of this prophet. Zechariah was slain by Shallum; Shallum, by Menahem; Pekahiah, by Pekah; and Pekah, by Hoshea, 2 Kings 15. All were idolaters, and all came to an untimely death." [Sermons: Ian Goligher. Stuart Olyott. William Still. ].

     1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. 2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. 3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. 4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened. 5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles [or heat, fever, fury, venom, rage] of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. 6 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. 7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured [this] their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. 8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself [he, he has mixed himself or he himself has mixed himself] among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [he, he knows or he himself knows] it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. 10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. 11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. 13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken [they, they have spoken, or they themselves have spoken] lies against me. 14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me. 15 Though I have bound [Though I, I have bound or Though I myself have bound] and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
