1Rejoice8055 not, O Israel3478, for joy1524, as other people5971: for thou hast gone a whoring2181 from thy God430, thou hast loved157 a reward868 upon every cornfloor1637 1715.
2The floor1637 and the winepress3342 shall not feed7462 them, and the new wine8492 shall fail3584 in her.
3They shall not dwell3427 in the LORD'S3068 land776; but Ephraim669 shall return7725 to Egypt4714, and they shall eat398 unclean2931 things in Assyria804.
4They shall not offer5258 wine3196 offerings to the LORD3068, neither shall they be pleasing6149 unto him: their sacrifices2077 shall be unto them as the bread3899 of mourners205; all that eat398 thereof shall be polluted2930: for their bread3899 for their soul5315 shall not come935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068.
5What will ye do6213 in the solemn4150 day3117, and in the day3117 of the feast2282 of the LORD3068?
6For, lo, they are gone1980 because of destruction7701: Egypt4714 shall gather them up6908, Memphis4644 shall bury6912 them: the pleasant4261 places for their silver3701, nettles7057 shall possess3423 them: thorns2336 shall be in their tabernacles168.
7The days3117 of visitation6486 are come935, the days3117 of recompence7966 are come935; Israel3478 shall know3045 it: the prophet5030 is a fool191, the spiritual7307 man376 is mad7696, for the multitude7230 of thine iniquity5771, and the great7227 hatred4895.
8The watchman6822 of Ephraim669 was with my God430: but the prophet5030 is a snare6341 of a fowler3352 in all his ways1870, and hatred4895 in the house1004 of his God430.
9They have deeply6009 corrupted7843 themselves, as in the days3117 of Gibeah1390: therefore he will remember2142 their iniquity5771, he will visit6485 their sins2403.
10I found4672 Israel3478 like grapes6025 in the wilderness4057; I saw7200 your fathers1 as the firstripe1063 in the fig tree8384 at her first time7225: but they went935 to Baalpeor1187, and separated5144 themselves unto that shame1322; and their abominations8251 were according as they loved157.
11As for Ephraim669, their glory3519 shall fly away5774 like a bird5775, from the birth3205, and from the womb990, and from the conception2032.
12Though they bring up1431 their children1121, yet will I bereave7921 them, that there shall not be a man120 left: yea, woe188 also to them when I depart5493 from them!
13Ephraim669, as I saw7200 Tyrus6865, is planted8362 in a pleasant place5116: but Ephraim669 shall bring forth3318 his children1121 to the murderer2026.
14Give5414 them, O LORD3068: what wilt thou give5414? give5414 them a miscarrying7921 womb7358 and dry6784 breasts7699.
15All their wickedness7451 is in Gilgal1537: for there I hated8130 them: for the wickedness7455 of their doings4611 I will drive them out1644 of mine house1004, I will love160 them no more3254: all their princes8269 are revolters5637.
16Ephraim669 is smitten5221, their root8328 is dried up3001, they shall bear6213 no fruit6529: yea, though they bring forth3205, yet will I slay4191 even the beloved4261 fruit of their womb990.
17My God430 will cast them away3988, because they did not hearken8085 unto him: and they shall be wanderers5074 among the nations1471.
