Hosea 9:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ The days of punishment have come;
    the days of recompense have come.
Israel will cry out,^[a]
“The prophet is a fool;
    the man of the spirit is mad!”
Because of your great iniquity,
    your hostility is great.^(A)
8 The prophet is a sentinel for my God over Ephraim,
yet a hunter’s snare is on all his ways
    and hostility in the house of his God.^(B)
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves
    as in the days of Gibeah;
he will remember their iniquity;
    he will punish their sins.^(C)
