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.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 9 of Hosea. The days of punishment have arrived and the people consider the prophet mad or foolish. Their reaction shows the tension between the prophetic word and a society unwilling to hear it. Hosea compares Israel’s corruption with that of Gibeah, recalling an episode of profound violence from the period of the judges. Past history functions as a mirror of present decline.

Die Zeit der Heimsuchung ist gekommen, die Zeit der Vergeltung; des wird Israel innewerden. Die Propheten sind Narren, und die Rottengeister sind wahnsinnig um deiner großen Missetat und um der großen feindseligen Abgötterei willen.
Vinieron los días de la visitación, vinieron los días de la paga; conoceralo Israel: necio el profeta. insensato el varón de espíritu, a causa de la multitud de tu maldad, y grande odio.
Ils arrivent, les jours du châtiment, Ils arrivent, les jours de la rétribution: Israël va l'éprouver! Le prophète est fou, l'homme inspiré a le délire, A cause de la grandeur de tes iniquités et de tes rébellions.
I giorni della visitazione son venuti, i giorni della retribuzione son venuti; Israele lo conoscerà; i profeti sono stolti, gli uomini d’ispirazione son forsennati: per la grandezza della tua iniquità, l’odio altresì sarà grande.
Chegarão os dias da punição, chegarão os dias da retribuição; Israel o saberá; o profeta é um insensato, o homem de espírito é um louco; por causa da abundância da tua iniqüidade também haverá grande ódio.
降罰的日子近了, 報應的時候已經來到。 以色列 必知道, 先知愚昧, 受靈感動的人狂妄, 皆因你多多作惡,大懷怨恨。
