Hosea 9:7-10
New International Version
7 The days of punishment(A) are coming,
the days of reckoning(B) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(C) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(D)
the inspired person a maniac.(E)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(F) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(G)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(H)
as in the days of Gibeah.(I)
God will remember(J) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(K)

Hosea 9:7-10
King James Version
7 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.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

Hosea 9:7-10
New King James Version
7 The (A)days of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a (B)fool,
(C)The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
8 The (D)watchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a [a]fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
9 (E)They are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of (F)Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
10 “I found Israel
Like grapes in the (G)wilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the (H)firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to (I)Baal Peor,
And [b]separated themselves to that shame;
(J)They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
