Hosea 9:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 What will you do on the festival day,
the day of the Lord’s feast?[a]
6 [b]When they flee from the devastation,
Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them.
Weeds will overgrow their silver treasures,
and thorns, their tents.
7 They have come, the days of punishment!
they have come, the days of recompense!
Let Israel know it!
“The prophet is a fool,(A)
the man of the spirit is mad!”
Because your iniquity is great,
great, too, is your hostility.
Footnotes
- 9:5 The Lord’s feast: probably the important autumn feast of Booths, the most important of the Israelite public celebrations (Lv 23:34).
- 9:6 Instead of gathering for celebration (v. 5), they will be gathered for death. Memphis: known for the monumental pyramid tombs. Silver treasures: the silver statues of Baal (8:4).

on the feast days of the Lord?

and Memphis(D) will bury them.(E)
Their treasures of silver(F) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(G) will overrun their tents.

the days of reckoning(I) are at hand.

the inspired person a maniac.(L)
