Hosea 9:6

Ephraim Faces Punishment

⁵ What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the feast of the Lord?
⁶ For behold, they will go because of destruction;
Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them.
Weeds will take over their treasures of silver;
Thorns will be in their tents.
⁷ The days of punishment have come,
The days of retribution have come;
Let Israel know this!
The prophet is a fool,
The inspired man is demented,
Because of the grossness of your iniquity,
And because your hostility is so great.
