Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 7:6

_ _ they have made ready — rather, “they make their heart approach,” namely their king, in going to drink with him.

_ _ like an oven — following out the image in Hosea 7:4. As it conceals the lighted fire all night while the baker sleeps but in the morning burns as a flaming fire, so they brood mischief in their hearts while conscience is lulled asleep, and their wicked designs wait only for a fair occasion to break forth [Horsley]. Their heart is the oven, their baker the ringleader of the plot. In Hosea 7:7 their plots appear, namely, the intestine disturbances and murders of one king after another, after Jeroboam II.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 7:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 7:6

They — Those luxurious and drinking princes. Like an oven — Hot with ambition, revenge, or covetousness. Lie in wait — Against the life or estate of some of their subjects. As the baker, having kindled a fire in his oven, goes to bed and sleeps all night, and in the morning finds his oven well heated and ready for his purpose; so these when they have laid some wicked plot, tho' they may seem to sleep for a while, yet the fire is glowing within, and flames out as soon as ever there is opportunity for it.
