New International Version
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)

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 guilt and hostility.(E)
8 Ephraim’s watchman is with my God.
The prophet encounters a fowler’s snare
on all his ways.(F)
Hostility is in the house of his God!
