visitation - vengeance: punishment (Isa 10:3).

Israel shall know it - to her cost experimentally (Isa 9:9).

the prophet is a fool - The false prophet who foretold prosperity to the nation shall be convicted of folly by the event.

the spiritual man - the man pretending to inspiration (Lam 2:14; Eze 13:3; Mic 3:11; Zep 3:4).

for the multitude of thine iniquity, etc. - Connect these words with, “the days of visitation ... are come”; “the prophet ... is mad,” being parenthetical.

the great hatred - or, “the great provocation” [Henderson]; or, “(thy) great apostasy” [Maurer]. English Version means Israel’s “hatred” of God’s prophets and the law.
