On the day of our king,
the princes are sick with the heat of wine(A)
there is a conspiracy with traitors.[a]
For they—their hearts like an oven—
draw him into their oven.
Their anger smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

All of them are as hot as an oven,(B)
and they consume their rulers.(C)
All their kings fall;
not one of them calls on me.[b]
