“The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.”
The statement that the days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come, and Israel shall know it suggests that Israel will experience the consequences of their actions with unmistakable clarity. The phrase 'the prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad' may represent either the people's dismissal of the prophet or the prophet's statement about how Israel has come to regard prophecy. This verse indicates that judgment will force Israel to recognize the truth of the prophetic word they had dismissed.
