Hosea 9:1

Hosea 9:1

Judgment of Israel’s Sin

1 Do^a not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples,
For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for ^bhire on every threshing floor.

2 The threshing floor and the winepress
Shall not feed them,
And the new wine shall fail in her.

3 They shall not dwell in ^athe Lord’s land,
^bBut Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
And ^cshall eat unclean things in Assyria.

4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord,
Nor ^ashall their ^bsacrifices be pleasing to Him.
It shall be like bread of mourners to them;
All who eat it shall be defiled.
For their bread shall be for their own life;
It shall not come into the house of the Lord.

5 What will you do in the appointed day,
And in the day of the feast of the Lord?

6 For indeed they are gone because of destruction.
Egypt shall gather them up;
Memphis shall bury them.
^aNettles shall possess their valuables of silver;
Thorns shall be in their tents.

<< Hosea 8:14

Hosea 9:2 >>

Rejoice not - Do not imitate the heathens, nor serve their idols. Do not prostitute thy soul and body in practicing their impurities. Hitherto thou hast acted as a common harlot, who goes even to the common threshing places; connects herself with the meanest, in order to get a hire even of the grain there threshed out.
