Dni nawiedzenia przyszły, dni zapłaty nadeszły; tedy dowie się Izrael, iż prorok jest szalony i opętany, dla wielkości złości twojej rozmnożyła się nienawiść.
Przyjdą dni nawiedzenia, przyjdą dni zapłaty; pozna to Izrael, że ten prorok ich jest głupi, szalony, mąż nikczemny dla mnóstwa nieprawości twojej i dla wielkiej nienawiści twojej, o Izraelu!
Nadejdą dni obrachunku, nadejdą dni odpłaty; pozna to Israel, który wołał: Prorok jest głupcem, a opętańcem mąż Ducha! Nadejdą na skutek mnogości twojej winy i dlatego, że tak wielka stała się wrogość.
Przyjdą dni nawiedzenia, przyjdą dni zapłaty; pozna to Izrael, że ten prorok ich jest głupi, szalony, mąż nikczemny dla mnóstwa nieprawości twojej i dla wielkiej nienawiści twojej, o Izraelu!
Przyjdą dni nawiedzenia, przyjdą dni zapłaty. Izrael pozna, że prorok jest głupcem, a człowiek duchowy – szalony, z powodu twojej wielkiej nieprawości i wielkiej nienawiści.
Nadeszły dni pomsty, nadeszły dni odpłaty. Izrael wtedy pozna, czy prorok jest głupcem, mąż natchniony szalonym, z powodu twoich win i wielkiej nienawiści.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come,.... In which the Lord would punish the people of Israel for their sins, and reward them in a righteous manner, according as their evil works deserved; which time, being fixed and appointed by him, are called "days"; and these, because near at hand, are said to be "come"; and this is repeated for the certainty of it:
Israel shall know [it]; by sad experience, that these days are come; and shall acknowledge the truth of the divine predictions, and the righteousness of God in his judgments. Schultens z, from the use of the phrase in the Arabic language, interprets it of Israel's suffering punishment; with which agrees the Septuagint version, "Israel shall be afflicted", or it shall go ill with him; and to the same purpose the Arabic version:
the prophet [is] a fool; so Israel said, before those days came, of a true prophet of the Lord, that he was a fool for prophesying of evil things, but now they shall find it otherwise. So the Targum,
"they of the house of Israel shall know that they who had prophesied to them were true prophets;''
but rather this is to be understood of false prophets, who, when the day of God's visitation shall come on Israel in a way of wrath and vengeance, will appear both to themselves and others to be fools, for prophesying good things to them, when evil was at hand:
the spiritual man [is] mad; he that was truly so, and prophesied under the inspiration of the Spirit of God, was accounted a madman for speaking against the idolatry of the times, and foretelling the judgments of God that would come upon the nation for it; but now it would be manifest, that not he, but such who pretended to be spiritual men, and to be directed and dictated by the Spirit of God, when they promised the people peace, though they walked after the imagination of their hearts, were the real madmen; who pursued the frenzies and fancies of their own minds, to the deception of themselves and the people, and called these the revelations of God, and pretended they came from the Spirit of God:
for the multitude of thine iniquities, and the great hatred; that is, either those evil days came upon them for their manifold sins and transgressions, which were hateful to God, and the cause of his hatred of them; or they were suffered to give heed to those foolish and mad prophets, because of their many sins, especially idolatry; and because of their great hatred of God, and of his true prophets, and of his laws and ordinances, of his word, will, and worship, and of one another, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to a judicial blindness and hardness of heart, to believe a lie, and whatsoever those false prophets declared unto them, because they did not like to retain him in their knowledge, to walk according to his law, and to believe his prophets. The Targum is,
"but the false prophets besotted them, so as to increase thy transgression, and strengthen thine iniquities.''
z Animadv. Philol. in Job, p. 78.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The days of visitation are come - The false prophets had continually hood-winked the people, promising them that those days would never come. âThey had put far away the evil dayâ Amos 6:3. Now it was not at hand only. In Godâs purpose, those âdaysâ were âcome,â irresistible, inevitable, inextricable; days in which God would visit, what in His long-suffering, He seemed to overlook, and would ârecompense each according to his works.â
Israel shall know it - Israel would not know by believing it; now it should âknow,â by feeling it.
The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad - The true prophet gives to the false the title which they claimed for themselves, âthe prophetâ and âthe man of the spirit.â Only the event showed what spirit was in them, not the spirit of God but a lying spirit. The people of the world called the true prophets, âmad,â literally, maddened, âdriven mad,â , as Festus thought of Paul; âThou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee madâ Acts 26:24. Jehuâs captains called by the same name the young prophet whom Elisha sent to anoint him. âWherefore came this mad fellow unto thee?â 2 Kings 9:11. Shemaiah, the false prophet, who deposed Godâs priest, set false priests to âbe officers in the house of the Lord,â to have an oversight as to âevery man who is mad and maketh himself a prophet,â calling Jeremiah both a false prophet and a âmadmanâ (Jeremiah 29:25-26. The word is the same).
The event was the test. Of our Lord Himself, the Jews blaspbemed, âHe hath a devil and is madâ John 10:20. And long afterward, âmadness,â âphrensyâ were among the names which the pagan gave to the faith in Christ . As Paul says, that âChrist crucifiedâ was âto the Greeksâ and to âthem that perish, foolishness,â and that the âthings of the Spirit of God, are foolishness to the natural man, neither can he knowâ them, âbecause they are spiritually discernedâ 1 Corinthians 1:18, 1Co 1:23; 1 Corinthians 2:14. The man of the world and the Christian judge of the same things by clean contrary rules, use them for quite contrary ends. The slave of pleasure counts him mad, who foregoes it; the wealthy trader counts him mad, who gives away profusely. In these days, profusion for the love of Christ has been counted a ground for depriving a man of the care of his property. One or the other is mad. And worldlings must count the Christian mad; else they must own themselves to be so most fearfully. In the Day of Judgment, Wisdom says, âThey, repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit, shall say within themselves, This was he whom we had sometimes in derision and a proverb of reproach. We fools counted his life madness, and his end to be without honor. How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!â (Wisd. 5:3-6).
For the multitude of thine iniquity and the great hatred - The words stand at the close of the verse, as the reason of all which had gone before. Their âmanifold iniquityâ and their âgreat hatredâ of God were the ground why the âdays of visitationâ and ârecompenseâ should âcome.â They were the ground also, why God allowed such prophets to delude them. The words, âthe great hatred,â stand quite undefined, so that they may signify alike the hatred of Ephraim against God and good people and His true prophets, or Godâs hatred of them. Yet it, most likely, means, âtheirâ great hatred, since of them the prophet uses it again in the next verse. The sinner first neglects God; then, as the will of God is brought before him, he willfully disobeys Him; then, when, he finds Godâs will irreconcilably at variance with his own, or when God chastens him, he hates Him, and (the prophet speaks out plainly) âhatesâ Him âgreatly.â
