Hosea 9:1-5
1People of Israel, do not shout with joy, as the people of other nations do at their festivals. You have not been faithful to me, your God. Like a prostitute, you sell yourselves to foreign gods that you worship on the threshing floors.
2But the threshing floors will not provide enough grain to feed the people. The winepresses will not give them enough new wine.
3The Israelites will not remain in the Lord's land. They will have to return to Egypt. In Assyria, they will have to eat food that is unclean.
4They will not pour out wine as an offering to the Lord. Their sacrifices will not please him. Instead, their offerings will be like food that people eat at a funeral. Anyone who eats it becomes unclean. They may eat the food to feed themselves, but they cannot offer it to the Lord in his temple.
5So what will you do on your festival days? You will no longer be able to worship the Lord properly.
