Hosea 9:7

The days of punishment have come;

the days of recompense have come;

Israel shall know it.

The prophet is a fool;

the man of the spirit is mad,

because of your great iniquity

and great hatred.

The days of punishment are coming,

the days of reckoning are at hand.

Let Israel know this.

Because your sins are so many

and your hostility so great,

the prophet is considered a fool,

the inspired person a maniac.

The days of punishment have come;

the days of retribution have come.

Let Israel recognize it!

The prophet is a fool,

and the inspired man is insane,

because of the magnitude

of your iniquity and hostility.

The time of Israel’s punishment has come;

the day of payment is here.

Soon Israel will know this all too well.

Because of your great sin and hostility,

you say, “The prophets are crazy

and the inspired men are fools!”

The days of punishment have come;

the days of retribution have come;

Israel knows!

The prophet is a fool,

the man of the spirit is acting like a madman.

Because of the greatness of your sin,

your hostility is great.

The days of visitation are come,

The days of recompence are come;

Israel shall know it:

The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad,

For the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
