→Metaphoric applications of technology: Correct summary of Hosea 7:4
* God's arrows can discipline us ([[Psalm 38:2]]), even the deadly arrow of famine ([[Ezekiel 5:16]])
* A [[yoke]] symbolises a burden or oppression or a bond, often in the context of God relieving that burden (e.g. [[Genesis 27:40]], [[Exodus 6:6]], [[Leviticus 26:13]], [[1 Kings 12:3]]ff, [[Psalm 106:28]], [[Matthew 11:28]], [[2 Corinthians 6:14]], [[Galatians 5:1]])
* The hearts of unrepentant Israel are like a poorly tended baker's oven hot ovens, fired by intrigue, lust, wine and passion ([[Hosea 7:4]]ff- [[Hosea 7:7]])* A plumb-line provides a standard reference point against which our conduct can be judged ([[Amos 7:7]]f- [[Amos 7:8]], [[Isaiah 28:17]])
* Our bodies are like clay jars ([[2 Corinthians 4:7]]) and like tents ([[2 Corinthians 5:1]])
* The Laodiceans are advised to buy salve for their eyes ([[Revelation 3:18]])
