6. When they flee from the devastation,Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them.Weeds will overgrow their silver treasures,and thorns, their tents.
7. They have come, the days of punishment!they have come, the days of recompense!Let Israel know it!“The prophet is a fool,the man of the spirit is mad!”Because your iniquity is great,great, too, is your hostility.
8. The watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God, is the prophet;yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,hostility in the house of his God.
