Judgment of Israel’s Sin
For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for bhire on every threshing floor.
bBut Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
And cshall eat unclean things in Assyria.
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.
Egypt shall gather them up;
Memphis shall bury them.
aNettles shall possess their valuables of silver;
Thorns shall be in their tents.
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a bfool,
cThe spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
But the prophet is a1 fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
As in the days of bGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
Like grapes in the awilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the bfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to cBaal Peor,
And1 separated themselves to that shame;
dThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, awoe to them when I depart from them!
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
bAll their princes are rebellious.
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be bwanderers among the nations.
