Hosea 9:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 The time for them to be punished will come.
The time for them to pay for their sins will come.
When this happens, Israel will know it.
They think that prophets are fools
and that spiritual people are crazy.
They have sinned a lot, and they are very hostile.
8 Prophets are Elohim’s watchmen over Ephraim.
Yet, traps are set on every prophet’s path,
and people are hostile in the temple of their Elohim.
9 People have deeply corrupted themselves as they once did at Gibeah.
Elohim will remember their wickedness
and punish them because of 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)
