Hos 9:6 Behold, though they go away from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Nob will bury them.
Briers will cover the silver treasures of righteousness, and thorns will spread within their tents.
"Even if you flee from destruction"
What should we do when God's judgment (discipline) comes upon us?
Should I run away from it? Can we escape God's judgment?
Israel went down to Egypt to escape God's judgment. I went down to Egypt to flee from God.
What happened?
“Egypt will gather them, and Nob will bury them; their silver treasures will be covered with briers, and their treasures will be covered with briers.
Thorn vines will spread within the curtain."

What's the use of a hidden treasure when its owner is dead? Thorn vines grow in empty houses.
Hosea 9:7 Let Israel know that the day of punishment has come, and the day of retribution has come. . .
If you are disciplined by God, can you be protected from the world by fleeing to the world? the world is us
cannot be protected. Rather, the world is what makes us die. The precious thing in the world is a nugget of gold
And even if you have a nice house, it is of no use if you die.
What should I do if I am disciplined? If you repent, all your problems will be solved.
All you have to do is bow down before God and come to God.
How do those who have forsaken God treat the prophet?

sold the prophet.
These are the characteristics of those who walk away from God and act like Gentiles.
Furthermore, those who have forsaken God set a snare and harbor resentment.
Hos 9:8 Ephraim is the watchman of my God, but the prophet in all his works is like a catcher's net.
And they harbored a grudge in the house of God.
Ephraim was the son of Joseph, whom Jacob loved the most.
Before Jacob died, there was a prayer of blessing as he laid his hands on his children.
Genesis 48:17 When Joseph saw that his father had put his rain shower on Ephraim's head, he was not pleased, and he lifted his father's hand
and moved it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh.
Genesis 49:24 Joseph's bow is rather strong, and his arms are strong, because the hand of the Almighty is of Jacob.
From him comes the shepherd, the rock of Israel.
Genesis 49:25 Of your father's God, who will help you, and of the Almighty, he

It is to hold grudges in the temple of God.
