Princes have made him sick,1 inflamed with awine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
While they lie in wait;
1Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
And have devoured their judges;
All their kings have fallen.
aNone among them calls upon Me.
But he does not know it;
Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him,
Yet he does not know it.
But bthey do not return to the Lord their God,
Nor seek Him for all this.
Futile Reliance on the Nations
I will bring them down like birds of the air;
I will chastise them
bAccording to what their congregation has heard.

Hosea 7:7
All their kings are fallen - 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, II Kings 15. All were idolaters, and all came to an untimely death.
