Hosea

Chapter 9

1 Rejoice8055 not,408 O Israel,3478 for413 joy,1524 as other people:5971 for3588 thou hast gone a whoring2181 from4480 5921 thy God,430 thou hast loved157 a reward868 upon5921 every3605 corn1715 floor.1637

2 The floor1637 and the winepress3342 shall not3808 feed7462 them, and the new wine8492 shall fail3584 in her.

3 They shall not3808 dwell3427 in the LORD's3068 land;776 but Ephraim669 shall return7725 to Egypt,4714 and they shall eat398 unclean2931 things in Assyria.804

4 They shall not3808 offer5258 wine3196 offerings to the LORD,3068 neither3808 shall they be pleasing6149 unto him: their sacrifices2077 shall be unto them as the bread3899 of mourners;205 all3605 that eat398 thereof shall be polluted:2930 for3588 their bread3899 for their soul5315 shall not3808 come into935 the house1004 of the LORD.3068

5 What4100 will ye do6213 in the solemn4150 day,3117 and in the day3117 of the feast2282 of the LORD?3068

6 For,3588 lo,2009 they are gone1980 because of destruction:4480 7701 Egypt4714 shall gather them up,6908 Memphis4644 shall bury6912 them: the pleasant4261 places for their silver,3701 nettles7057 shall possess3423 them: thorns2336 shall be in their tabernacles.168

7 The days3117 of visitation6486 are come,935 the days3117 of recompense7966 are come;935 Israel3478 shall know3045 it: the prophet5030 is a fool,191 the spiritual7307 man376 is mad,7696 for5921 the multitude7230 of thine iniquity,5771 and the great7227 hatred.4895

8 The watchman6822 of Ephraim669 was with5973 my God:430 but the prophet5030 is a snare6341 of a fowler3352 in5921 all3605 his ways,1870 and hatred4895 in the house1004 of his God.430

9 They have deeply6009 corrupted7843 themselves, as in the days3117 of Gibeah:1390 therefore he will remember2142 their iniquity,5771 he will visit6485 their sins.2403

10 I found4672 Israel3478 like grapes6025 in the wilderness;4057 I saw7200 your fathers1 as the firstripe1063 in the fig tree8384 at her first time:7225 but they1992 went935 to Baal-peor,1187 and separated themselves5144 unto that shame;1322 and their abominations8251 were1961 according as they loved.157

11 As for Ephraim,669 their glory3519 shall fly away5774 like a bird,5775 from the birth,4480 3205 and from the womb,4480 990 and from the conception.4480 2032

12 Though3588 518 they bring up1431 853 their children,1121 yet will I bereave7921 them, that there shall not be a man4480 120 left: yea,3588 woe188 also1571 to them when I depart5493 from4480 them!

13 Ephraim,669 as834 I saw7200 Tyrus,6865 is planted8362 in a pleasant place:5116 but Ephraim669 shall bring forth3318 his children1121 to413 the murderer.2026

14 Give5414 them, O LORD:3068 what4100 wilt thou give?5414 give5414 them a miscarrying7921 womb7358 and dry6784 breasts.7699

15 All3605 their wickedness7451 is in Gilgal:1537 for3588 there8033 I hated8130 them: for5921 the wickedness7455 of their doings4611 I will drive them out1644 of mine house,4480 1004 I will love157 them no3808 more:3254 all3605 their princes8269 are revolters.5637

16 Ephraim669 is smitten,5221 their root8328 is dried up,3001 they shall bear6213 no1077 fruit:6529 yea,1571 though3588 they bring forth,3205 yet will I slay4191 even the beloved4261 fruit of their womb.990

17 My God430 will cast them away,3988 because3588 they did not3808 hearken8085 unto him: and they shall be1961 wanderers5074 among the nations.1471

Hosea

Chapter 9

1 REJOICE not, O Israel, leap not for joy, as others do; because you have gone astray from your God, you have loved gifts from every threshing floor.

2 But the threshing floor and the winepress shall not satisfy them, and the oil shall fail them.

3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall their sacrifices please him; their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of affliction; all who eat of it shall be polluted; for their own bread shall not come into the house of the LORD.

5 What will you do on the solemn feast day, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?

6 For, lo, they are gone in the prey: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their valuable things of silver, strangers shall inherit them; thorns shall grow in their tents.

7 The days of vengeance have come, the days of recompense are near; then Israel shall know it; the prophet is a fool, a dull man possessed by a spirit of stupidity; because of the multitude of your iniquity, your lasciviousness has been increased.

8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God; but the prophet is a snare and a stumbling block in all his ways, and wantonness in the house of God.

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Ramtha; therefore he will remember their iniquity, and he will punish them for their sins.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw their fathers like the first fruit of the fig tree, but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to that shameful thing, and became abominable like the things they loved.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory has flown away like a bird, they are cut off from the birth, from the womb, and from the conception.

12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, that there shall not be a man left; yea, woe to them, for I will take vengeance upon them!

13 Ephraim's fate shall be like that of Tyre, as you have seen, though planted in a pleasant place with buildings; likewise Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slaughter.

14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bear children, I will cause them to die, even those who are tenderly beloved.

17 My God will reject them because they did not hearken to him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

7 The days3117 of visitation6486 are come,935 the days3117 of recompense7966 are come;935 Israel3478 shall know3045 it: the prophet5030 is a fool,191 the spiritual7307 man376 is mad,7696 for5921 the multitude7230 of thine iniquity,5771 and the great7227 hatred.4895

7 The days of vengeance have come, the days of recompense are near; then Israel shall know it; the prophet is a fool, a dull man possessed by a spirit of stupidity; because of the multitude of your iniquity, your lasciviousness has been increased.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw their fathers like the first fruit of the fig tree, but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to that shameful thing, and became abominable like the things they loved.

11 As for Ephraim,669 their glory3519 shall fly away5774 like a bird,5775 from the birth,4480 3205 and from the womb,4480 990 and from the conception.4480 2032

11 As for Ephraim, their glory has flown away like a bird, they are cut off from the birth, from the womb, and from the conception.

12 Though3588 518 they bring up1431 853 their children,1121 yet will I bereave7921 them, that there shall not be a man4480 120 left: yea,3588 woe188 also1571 to them when I depart5493 from4480 them!

12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, that there shall not be a man left; yea, woe to them, for I will take vengeance upon them!

13 Ephraim,669 as834 I saw7200 Tyrus,6865 is planted8362 in a pleasant place:5116 but Ephraim669 shall bring forth3318 his children1121 to413 the murderer.2026

13 Ephraim's fate shall be like that of Tyre, as you have seen, though planted in a pleasant place with buildings; likewise Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slaughter.

14 Give5414 them, O LORD:3068 what4100 wilt thou give?5414 give5414 them a miscarrying7921 womb7358 and dry6784 breasts.7699

14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15 All3605 their wickedness7451 is in Gilgal:1537 for3588 there8033 I hated8130 them: for5921 the wickedness7455 of their doings4611 I will drive them out1644 of mine house,4480 1004 I will love157 them no3808 more:3254 all3605 their princes8269 are revolters.5637

15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.
