The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

Verse 8 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.
