Hosea 9:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For lo, they are gone from [a]destruction: but Egypt shall gather them up, and Memphis shall bury them: the nettle shall possess the pleasant places of their silver, and the thorn shall be in their tabernacles.
7 The days of visitation are come: the days of recompense are come: Israel shall know it: [b]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 [c]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.

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)
