Hosea 9:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 What will you do on the solemn feasts,
on the festival day of the Lord?[a]
6 Even if the people escape destruction,
Egypt will gather them
and Memphis[b] will bury them.
Weeds will swallow up their treasures of silver,
and thorns will overrun their tents.
The Prophet Is Ridiculed
7 The days of punishment have come;
the days of retribution are here.
Israel cries out,
“The prophet is a fool,
the inspired man is a maniac.”
Because your iniquity is great,
all the greater is your hostility.
