Hosea 9:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 You will no longer be able
to celebrate the festival
of the Lord.[a]
6 Even if you escape alive,
you will end up in Egypt
and be buried in Memphis.[b]
Your silver treasures
will be lost among weeds;[c]
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.
