Hosea 9:7-8
New King James Version
7 The (A)days of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a (B)fool,
(C)The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
8 The (D)watchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a [a]fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
