Hosea 9:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 9:8

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.
