Hosea 9:6-8
Tree of Life Version
Hosea 9:6-8
Tree of Life Version
6 Look, even if they escape the desolation,
Egypt will gather them up;
Memphis will bury them.
And their precious silver treasures?
Weeds will possess them.
Thorns will be in their tents.
7 The days of punishment have come;
the days of retribution have come.
Let Israel know! The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad!
For great is your iniquity
and great the hostility.
8 Ephraim is a watchman with my God,
a prophet.
A bird catcher’s trap is on all his paths.
Hostility is in the House of his God.

Hosea 9:6-8
New International Version
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(A)
and Memphis(B) will bury them.(C)
Their treasures of silver(D) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(E) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(F) are coming,
the days of reckoning(G) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(H) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(I)
the inspired person a maniac.(J)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(K) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(L)
