Hosea 9:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ What will you do on the solemn feasts,
    on the festival day of the Lord?^[a]
6 Even if the people escape destruction,
    Egypt will gather them
    and Memphis^[b] will bury them.
Weeds will swallow up their treasures of silver,
    and thorns will overrun their tents.

⁷ The days of punishment have come;
    the days of retribution are here.
Israel cries out,
    “The prophet is a fool,
    the inspired man is a maniac.”
Because your iniquity is great,
    all the greater is your hostility.
