Hosea 9:1-9

1Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.2The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.3They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim1 will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.

4They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD,and their sacrifices will not please Him,but will be to them like the bread of mourners;all who eat will be defiled.For their bread will be for themselves;it will not enter the house of the LORD.5What will you do on the appointed day,on the day of the LORD’s feast?6For even if they flee destruction,Egypt will gather themand Memphis will bury them.Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles,and thorns will overrun their tents.
7The days of punishment have come;the days of retribution have arrived—let Israel know it.The prophet is called a fool,and the inspired man insane,because of the greatnessof your iniquity and hostility.8The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman,along with my God,2yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths.Hostility is in the house of his God!9They have deeply corrupted themselvesas in the days of Gibeah;He will remember their guilt;He will punish their sins.
