Hosea 9:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 For even if they escape destruction,
Egypt shall gather them,
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;[a]
thorns shall be in their tents.
7 The days of punishment have come,
the days of recompense have come;
Israel cries,[b]
“The prophet is a fool,
the man of the spirit is mad!”
Because of your great iniquity,
your hostility is great.
8 The prophet is a sentinel for my God over Ephraim,
yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,
and hostility in the house of his God.
