Hosea 9:7-9
New Life Version
7 The days of punishment have come, the days when the people must pay for their sins. Let Israel know this. The man who tells what will happen in the future is a fool. The man who is led by the spirit is crazy. This is because of all your sin and anger. 8 Ephraim was meant to be a watchman who would speak for God. Yet there is a net in all his ways, and only anger in the house of his God. 9 They have gone deep into sin, as in the days of Gibeah. The Lord will remember their wrong-doing, and will punish their sins.

Hosea 9:7-9
New International Version
7 The days of punishment(A) are coming,
the days of reckoning(B) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(C) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(D)
the inspired person a maniac.(E)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(F) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(G)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(H)
as in the days of Gibeah.(I)
God will remember(J) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(K)
