Oven
'An oven,' as in Malachi 4:1, signifies hell, where the people live who confirm themselves in false doctrines and evils of life from earthly and bodily loves.
In Exodus 7:3, this signifies exterior goods, which are natural, and are commonly called 'pleasant.'

Hosea 7:3-8
3
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4
They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
6
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
8
Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
