Hosea 9
New American Standard Bible 1995
Ephraim Punished
11Do not rejoiceH8055, O IsraelH3478, 2with exultationH1524 like the 3nationsH5971! For you have 4playedH2181 the harlotH2181, 5forsakingH4480H5921 your GodH430. You have lovedH157 harlots’ earningsH868 on 6everyH3605 threshingH1637 floorH1637.2ThreshingH1637 floorH1637 and wineH3342 pressH3342 will 7not feedH7462 them, And the newH8492 wineH8492 will failH3584 8them.3They will not remainH3427 in 9the Lord’sH3068 landH776, But EphraimH669 will returnH7725 to 10EgyptH4714, And in 11AssyriaH804 they will eatH398 12uncleanH2931 food.4They will not pourH5258 out drinkH5258 offeringsH5258 of 13wineH3196 to the LordH3068, 14Their sacrificesH2077 will not pleaseH6149 Him. Their bread will 15be like 16mourners’H205 breadH3899; AllH3605 who eatH398 of it will be 17defiledH2930, For their breadH3899 will be for 18themselvesH5315 alone; It will not enterH935 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.519WhatH4100 will you doH6213 on the dayH3117 of the appointedH4150 festivalH4150 And on the dayH3117 of the 20feastH2282 of the LordH3068?6For beholdH2009, they will goH1980 becauseH4480 of destructionH7701; EgyptH4714 will gatherH6908 them up, 21MemphisH4644 will buryH6912 them. WeedsH7057 will takeH3423 overH3423 their treasuresH4261 of silverH3701; 22ThornsH2336 will be in their tentsH168.
7The daysH3117 of 23punishmentH6486 have comeH935, The daysH3117 of 24retributionH7966 have comeH935; 25Let IsraelH3478 knowH3045 this! The prophetH5030 is a 26foolH191, The 27inspiredH7307 manH376 is 28dementedH7696, BecauseH5921 of the grossnessH7230 of your 29iniquityH5771, And because your hostilityH4895 is so greatH7227.8EphraimH669 was a watchmanH6822 with my GodH430, a prophetH5030; Yet the snareH6341 of a birdH3352 catcherH3352 is in allH3605 his waysH1870, And there is only hostilityH4895 in the houseH1004 of his GodH430.9They have goneH6009 30deepH6009 31in depravityH7843 As in the daysH3117 of 32GibeahH1390; He will 33rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, He will punishH6485 their sinsH2403.
10I foundH4672 IsraelH3478 like 34grapesH6025 in the wildernessH4057; I sawH7200 your forefathersH1 as the 35earliestH1063 fruitH1063 on the figH8384 treeH8384 in its firstH7225 season. But they cameH935 to 36Baal-peorH1187 and devotedH5144 themselves to 3738shameH1322, And they becameH1961 as 39detestableH8251 as that whichH159 they lovedH157.11As for EphraimH669, their 40gloryH3519 will flyH5774 awayH5774 like a birdH5775-- NoH4480 birthH3205, noH4480 pregnancyH990 and noH4480 conceptionH2032!12ThoughH3588H518 they bringH1431 up their childrenH1121, Yet I will bereaveH7921 them 41until not a manH120 is left. YesH3588, 42woeH188 to them indeedH1571 when I departH5493 from them!13EphraimH669, as I have seenH7200, Is plantedH8362 in a pleasant meadowH5116 like 43TyreH6865; But EphraimH669 will bringH3318 out his childrenH1121 for slaughterH2026.14GiveH5414 them, O LordH3068--whatH4100 will You giveH5414? GiveH5414 them a 44miscarryingH7921 wombH7358 and dryH6784 breastsH7699.
15AllH3605 their evilH7463 is at 45GilgalH1537; IndeedH3588, I came to hateH8130 them thereH8033! BecauseH5921 of the 46wickednessH7455 of their deedsH4611 I will driveH1644 them out of My houseH1004! I will loveH157 them noH3808 moreH3254; AllH3605 their princesH8269 are 47rebelsH5637.1648EphraimH669 is strickenH5221, their rootH8328 is driedH3001 up, They will bearH6213 49noH1097 fruitH6529. EvenH1571 thoughH3588 they bearH3205 children, I will slayH4191 the 50preciousH4261 onesH4261 of their wombH990.17My GodH430 will castH3988 them awayH3988 BecauseH3588 they have 51not listenedH8085 to Him; And they will be 52wanderersH5074 among the nationsH1471.
