Hosea 9

1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as people: for you hast gone a whoring from your Elohim, you hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. 2The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 3They shall not dwell in the Yahuah'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean in Assyria. 4They shall not offer wine to the Yahuah, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Yahuah. 5What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Yahuah? 6For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns in their tabernacles. 7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know : the prophet a fool, the spiritual man mad, for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred. 8The watchman of Ephraim with my Elohim: the prophet a snare of a fowler in all his ways, hatred in the house of his Elohim. 9They have deeply corrupted , as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. 10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto shame; and abominations were according as they loved. 11Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. 12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, not a man : yes, woe also to them when I depart from them! 13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. 14Give them, O Yahuah: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 15All their wickedness in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes revolters. 16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved of their womb. 17My Elohim will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
