Hosea 9:7-9
Time’s up.
Doom’s at the doorstep.
It’s payday!
(Recompense in King James :-)
Did Israel bluster,
“The prophet is crazy!
The ‘man of the Spirit’ is nuts!”?
Think again.
Because of your great guilt,
you’re in big trouble.
The prophet is looking out for Ephraim,
working under God’s orders.
But everyone is trying to trip him up.
He’s hated right in God’s house, of all places.
The people are going from bad to worse,
rivaling that ancient and unspeakable crime at Gibeah.
God’s keeping track of their guilt.
He’ll make them pay for their sins.
(Hosea 9:8 Or The prophet is the watchman over Ephraim, / the people of my God)
I told you about earlier.
You're me.
You come across this the last day of your stay.
What would you think Lucy?
Betcha I know already.
Love you sweetheart.
