Hosea 9:5-7
New International Reader's Version
5 What will you do when your appointed feasts come?
What will you do on the Lord’s special days?
6 Some of you will escape without being destroyed.
But you will die in Egypt.
Your bodies will be buried at Memphis.
Weeds will cover your treasures of silver.
Thorns will grow up in your tents.
7 The time when God will punish you is coming.
The day when he will judge you is near.
I want Israel to know this.
You have committed many sins.
And you hate me very much.
That’s why you think the prophet is foolish.
You think the person the Lord speaks through is crazy.

Hosea 9:5-7
New International Version
5 What will you do(A) on the day of your appointed festivals,(B)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(C)
and Memphis(D) will bury them.(E)
Their treasures of silver(F) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(G) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(H) are coming,
the days of reckoning(I) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(J) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(K)
the inspired person a maniac.(L)
