Hosea 9:1-5
1
Punishment for Israel
Do not rejoice, O Israel;
do not be jubilant like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute
at every threshing floor.
2
Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine will fail them.
3
They will not remain in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt
and eat unclean food in Assyria.
4
They will not pour out wine offerings to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;
all who eat them will be unclean.
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.
5
What will you do on the day of your appointed feasts,
on the festival days of the Lord?
