Verse 8
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.
The watchman — The old true prophets indeed were with God.
My God — The God of Hosea.
The prophet — The false prophets have, as well as the people, left God.
Is a snare — Their pretended predictions are but a snare, such as fowlers lay.
And hatred — Such prophets are full of hatred and malice: yea, they are hatred itself.
