Hosea 9:7-8
Christian Standard Bible
7 The days of punishment have come;(A)
the days of retribution have come.(B)
Let Israel recognize it!
The prophet is a fool,(C)
and the inspired man is insane,(D)
because of the magnitude
of your iniquity and hostility.(E)
8 Ephraim’s watchman is with my God.
Yet the prophet encounters a bird trap
on all his pathways.(F)
Hostility is in the house of his God!
Hosea 9:7-8
Common English Bible
7 The days of punishment have come;
the days of judgment have arrived;
Israel cries,
“The prophet is a fool,
the spiritual man is mad!”
Because of your great wickedness,
your rejection of me is great.
Tragic consequences
8 The prophet is God’s watchman
looking over Ephraim,
yet a hunter’s trap is set, covering all his ways,
and rejection is in his God’s house.
Hosea 9:7-8
New International Version
7 The days of punishment(A) are coming,
the days of reckoning(B) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(C) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(D)
the inspired person a maniac.(E)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(F) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(G)
