Journey Through the Bible

Hosea 9:3-6

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?

6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,
and Memphis will bury them.
Their treasures of silver will be taken over by briers,
and thorns will overrun their tents.
