Hosea 9:7

Hosea 9:7

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hosea 9:6

Hosea 9:8 >>

The prophet - The false prophet. The spiritual man - That pretends to be full of the spirit of prophecy. For thine iniquity - God began his punishments in giving them over to believe their false prophets. The great hatred - Which God had against your sins.
