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