Hosea 9:6-8
English Standard Version
6 For behold, they are going away from destruction;
but (A)Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess (B)their precious things of silver;
(C)thorns shall be in their tents.
7 (D)The days of punishment have come;
the days of recompense have come;
Israel shall know it.
(E)The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad,
because of your great iniquity
and great hatred.
8 The prophet is (F)the watchman of Ephraim with my God;
yet (G)a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.

Hosea 9:6-8
New International Version
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(A)
and Memphis(B) will bury them.(C)
Their treasures of silver(D) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(E) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(F) are coming,
the days of reckoning(G) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(H) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(I)
the inspired person a maniac.(J)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(K) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(L)
