Hosea 9

New American Standard Bible 1995

Ephraim Punished

11Do not rejoice, O Israel, 2with exultation like the 3nations! For you have 4played the harlot, 5forsaking your God. You have loved harlots’ earnings on 6every threshing floor.2Threshing floor and wine press will 7not feed them, And the new wine will fail 8them.3They will not remain in 9the Lord’s land, But Ephraim will return to 10Egypt, And in 11Assyria they will eat 12unclean food.4They will not pour out drink offerings of 13wine to the Lord, 14Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will 15be like 16mourners’ bread; All who eat of it will be 17defiled, For their bread will be for 18themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the Lord.519What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the 20feast of the Lord?6For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, 21Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; 22Thorns will be in their tents.

7The days of 23punishment have come, The days of 24retribution have come; 25Let Israel know this! The prophet is a 26fool, The 27inspired man is 28demented, Because of the grossness of your 29iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.8Ephraim was a watchman with my God, a prophet; Yet the snare of a bird catcher is in all his ways, And there is only hostility in the house of his God.9They have gone 30deep 31in depravity As in the days of 32Gibeah; He will 33remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.

10I found Israel like 34grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the 35earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to 36Baal-peor and devoted themselves to 3738shame, And they became as 39detestable as that which they loved.11As for Ephraim, their 40glory will fly away like a bird-- No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!12Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them 41until not a man is left. Yes, 42woe to them indeed when I depart from them!13Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pleasant meadow like 43Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.14Give them, O Lord--what will You give? Give them a 44miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15All their evil is at 45Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the 46wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are 47rebels.1648Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will bear 49no fruit. Even though they bear children, I will slay the 50precious ones of their womb.17My God will cast them away Because they have 51not listened to Him; And they will be 52wanderers among the nations.
