Hosea 9:1-9

1 1Do not rejoice, Israel, 2with jubilation like the 3nations! For you have 4been unfaithful, 5abandoning your God. You have loved the earnings of unfaithfulness 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, 14Nor will 15their sacrifices please Him. Their bread will be to them like 16mourners’ bread; All who eat it will be 17defiled, Because their bread will be for 18themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the Lord.5 19What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the 20feast of the Lord?6For behold, they will be gone because of destruction; Egypt will gather them together, 21Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take possession of 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 person is 28insane, Because of the grossness of your 29wrongdoing, And because your 30hostility 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 31hostility in the house of his God.9They are 32deeply depraved As in the days of 33Gibeah; He will 34remember their guilt, He will punish their sins.
