Hosea 9:7-8
New Living Translation
7 The time of Israel’s punishment has come;
the day of payment is here.
Soon Israel will know this all too well.
Because of your great sin and hostility,
you say, “The prophets are crazy
and the inspired men are fools!”
8 The prophet is a watchman over Israel[a] for my God,
yet traps are laid for him wherever he goes.
He faces hostility even in the house of God.
Hosea 9:7-8
English Standard Version
7 (A)The days of punishment have come;
the days of recompense have come;
Israel shall know it.
(B)The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad,
because of your great iniquity
and great hatred.
8 The prophet is (C)the watchman of Ephraim with my God;
yet (D)a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.
