Hosea 7:4
_ _ who ceaseth from raising — rather, “heating” it, from an Arabic root, “to be hot.” So the Septuagint. Their adulterous and idolatrous lust is inflamed as the oven of a baker who has it at such a heat that he ceaseth from heating it only from the time that he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened; he only needs to omit feeding it during the short period of the fermentation of the bread. Compare 2 Peter 2:14, “that cannot cease from sin” [Henderson]. |
Hosea 7:4

Hosea 7:4
They [are] all adulterers, as an (c) oven heated by the baker, [who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
(c) He compares the rage of the people to a burning oven which the baker heats, until his dough is leavened and raised. |
