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.

¹⁵ “All their wickedness is in ^(A)Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
^(B)All their princes are rebellious.
¹⁶ Ephraim is ^(C)stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”

¹⁷ My God will ^(D)cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be ^(E)wanderers among the nations.
