Commentary on Hosea 9:8
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 (prophet) should align with God, but instead became snare (trap) in all ways, spreading hatred even in God's house (temple/worship). This describes prophetic corruption - those commissioned to warn became deceivers. False prophets trap people through lies. Jeremiah 23 similarly condemns: prophets prophesy lies in my name. Only Christ is faithful Prophet, revealing truth. His apostles warn against false teachers (2 Peter 2, Jude).
