Hosea 9:6

Ephraim Faces Punishment

⁵ What will they do on the day of an appointed festival or on Jehovah's festival days? 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 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 are filled with hostility.
