Hosea 9:7
Compare all
5 What will you do in the appointed day,
And in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For indeed they are gone because of destruction.
Egypt shall gather them up;
Memphis shall bury them.
aNettles shall possess their valuables of silver;
Thorns shall be in their tents. 
7 The adays of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a bfool,
cThe spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity. 
8 The awatchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a1 fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God. 
9 aThey are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of bGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins. 
10 “I found Israel
Like grapes in the awilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the bfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to cBaal Peor,
And1 separated themselves to that shame;
dThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.

Hosea 9:7

The days of visitation - Of punishment are come.

The prophet is a fool - Who has pretended to foretell, on Divine authority, peace and plenty; for behold all is desolation.

The spiritual man - ish haruach , the man of spirit, who was ever pretending to be under a Divine afflatus.

Is mad - He is now enraged to see every thing falling out contrary to his prediction.
