Hosea 9:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Even if you escape alive,
you will end up in Egypt
and be buried in Memphis.[a]
Your silver treasures
will be lost among weeds;[b]
thorns will sprout in your tents.
7 (A) Israel, the time has come.
You will get what you deserve,
and you will know it.
“Prophets are fools,” you say.
“And God's messengers
are crazy.”
Your terrible guilt
has filled you with hatred.
8 Israel, the Lord sent me
to look after you.[c]
But you trap his prophets
and flood his temple
with your hatred.
