The days of pekudah (visitation for divine punishment) are come, the yamim of recompence are come; Yisroel shall know it; the navi is a fool, the ish haruach (spiritual man) is meshuga, for the multitude of thine iniquity and great hatred.

The watchman of Ephrayim was with my G-d; but the navi is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the bais of his G-d.

They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the yamim of Giveah; therefore He will remember their iniquity, He will visit their sins.

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)
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)
They have sunk deep into corruption,(H)
    as in the days of Gibeah.(I)
God will remember(J) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.(K)
