Hosea 7:3

3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

Hosea 7:3 In-Context

1 "When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers despoileth 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 of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
