Context Readings

Ephraim Faces Punishment

6 Even if they escape without being destroyed, Egypt will capture them and Memphis will bury them. Weeds will grow over their silver treasures. Thorns will grow over 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.
8 Prophets are God's watchmen over Ephraim. Yet, traps are set on every prophet's path and people are hostile in the Temple of their God.
