Hosea 9:5-7
Expanded Bible
5 What will you do then on the day of ·feasts [your appointed festivals]
and on the day of the Lord’s festival?
6 [L Look; T Behold] Even if the people ·are not destroyed [escape destruction],
Egypt will ·capture [or receive; L gather] them;
Memphis [C a city in Egypt famous for its tombs] will bury them.
·Weeds [Briers; Nettles] will grow over their silver treasures,
and thorns will ·drive them out of [possess; inherit] their tents.
7 The time of punishment has come,
the ·time to pay for sins [L days of recompense/vengeance].
Let Israel know this:
·You think the [L The] prophet is a fool,
and ·you say the [L the] ·spiritual person [Spirit-inspired person] is crazy.
·You [or This is because you] have sinned very much,
and your hatred is great.

New International Version
5 What will you do(A) on the day of your appointed festivals,(B)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(C)
and Memphis(D) will bury them.(E)
Their treasures of silver(F) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(G) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(H) are coming,
the days of reckoning(I) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(J) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(K)
the inspired person a maniac.(L)
