Hosea 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 The days of visitation are come: the days of recompense are come: Israel shall know it: [a]the Prophet is a fool: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity: therefore the hatred is great.
8 The watchman of Ephraim [b]should be with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9 They [c]are deeply set: they are corrupt as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
