Hosea 9:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ For lo, they have gone from destruction. Egypt shall gather them up and Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess the pleasant places of their silver. Thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

⁷ The days of visitation have come. The days of recompense have come. Israel shall know it. The Prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, because of the multitude of your iniquity. Therefore the hatred is great.

⁸ The watchman of Ephraim is with my God. The Prophet is the snare of a bird catcher in all his ways, and hatred is in the House of his God.
