Hosea 9

1Rejoice^H8055 not, O Israel^H3478, for joy^H1524, like the peoples^H5971; for thou hast played the harlot^H2181, departing from thy God^H430; thou hast loved^H157 hire^H868 upon every grain-floor^H1637. 2The threshing-floor^H1637 and the winepress^H3342 shall not feed^H7462 them, and the new wine^H8492 shall fail^H3584 her. 3They shall not dwell^H3427 in Jehovah's^H3068 land^H776; but Ephraim^H669 shall return^H7725 to Egypt^H4714, and they shall eat^H398 unclean^H2931 food in Assyria^H804. 4They shall not pour^H5258 out wine^H3196- offerings to Jehovah^H3068, neither shall they be pleasing^H6149 unto him: their sacrifices^H2077 shall be unto them as the bread^H3899 of mourners^H205; all that eat^H398 thereof shall be polluted^H2930; for their bread^H3899 shall be for their appetite^H5315; it shall not come^H935 into the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068. 5What will ye do^H6213 in the day^H3117 of solemn^H4150 assembly, and in the day^H3117 of the feast^H2282 of Jehovah^H3068? 6For, lo, they are gone^H1980 away from destruction^H7701; yet Egypt^H4714 shall gather them up^H6908, Memphis^H4644 shall bury^H6912 them; their pleasant^H4261 things of silver^H3701, nettles^H7057 shall possess^H3423 them; thorns^H2336 shall be in their tents^H168. 7The days^H3117 of visitation^H6486 are come^H935, the days^H3117 of recompense^H7966 are come^H935; Israel^H3478 shall know^H3045 it: the prophet^H5030 is a fool^H191, the man^H376 that hath the spirit^H7307 is mad^H7696, for the abundance^H7230 of thine iniquity^H5771, and because the enmity^H4895 is great^H7227. 8Ephraim^H669 was a watchman^H6822 with my God^H430: as for the prophet^H5030, a fowler's^H3352 snare^H6341 is in all his ways^H1870, and enmity^H4895 in the house^H1004 of his God^H430. 9They have deeply^H6009 corrupted^H7843 themselves, as in the days^H3117 of Gibeah^H1390: he will remember^H2142 their iniquity^H5771, he will visit^H6485 their sins^H2403. 10I found^H4672 Israel^H3478 like grapes^H6025 in the wilderness^H4057; I saw^H7200 your fathers^H1 as the first-ripe^H1063 in the fig-tree^H8384 at its first season^H7225: but they came^H935 to Baal-peor^H1187, and consecrated^H5144 themselves unto the shameful^H1322 thing, and became abominable^H8251 like that which they loved^H157. 11As for Ephraim^H669, their glory^H3519 shall fly away^H5774 like a bird^H5775: there shall be no birth^H3205, and none with child^H990, and no conception^H2032. 12Though they bring up^H1431 their children^H1121, yet will I bereave^H7921 them, so that not a man^H120 shall be left: yea, woe^H188 also to them when I depart^H5493 from them! 13Ephraim^H669, like as I have seen^H7200 Tyre^H6865, is planted^H8362 in a pleasant place^H5116: but Ephraim^H669 shall bring out^H3318 his children^H1121 to the slayer^H2026. 14Give^H5414 them, O Jehovah—what^H3068 wilt thou give^H5414? give^H5414 them a miscarrying^H7921 womb^H7358 and dry^H6784 breasts^H7699. 15All their wickedness^H7451 is in Gilgal^H1537; for there I hated^H8130 them: because of the wickedness^H7455 of their doings^H4611 I will drive them out^H1644 of my house^H1004; I will love^H160 them no more^H3254; all their princes^H8269 are revolters^H5637. 16Ephraim^H669 is smitten^H5221, their root^H8328 is dried up^H3001, they shall bear^H6213 no fruit^H6529: yea, though they bring forth^H3205, yet will I slay^H4191 the beloved^H4261 fruit of their womb^H990. 17My God^H430 will cast them away^H3988, because they did not hearken^H8085 unto him; and they shall be wanderers^H5074 among the nations^H1471.
