[1]RejoiceH8055[H8799] not, O IsraelH3478, for joyH1524, as other peopleH5971: for thou hast gone a whoringH2181[H8804] from thy GodH430, thou hast lovedH157[H8804] a rewardH868 upon every cornfloorH1637.[H1715]
[2]The floorH1637 and the winepressH3342 shall not feedH7462[H8799] them, and the new wineH8492 shall failH3584 in herH8762.
[3]They shall not dwellH3427[H8799] in the LORD'SH3068 landH776; but EphraimH669 shall returnH7725[H8804] to EgyptH4714, and they shall eatH398[H8799] uncleanH2931 things in AssyriaH804.
[4]They shall not offerH5258[H8799] wineH3196 offerings to the LORDH3068, neither shall they be pleasingH6149[H8799] unto him: their sacrificesH2077 shall be unto them as the breadH3899 of mournersH205; all that eatH398[H8802] thereof shall be pollutedH2930[H8691]: for their breadH3899 for their soulH5315 shall not comeH935[H8799] into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[5]What will ye doH6213[H8799] in the solemnH4150 dayH3117, and in the dayH3117 of the feastH2282 of the LORDH3068?
[6]For, lo, they are goneH1980[H8804] because of destructionH7701: EgyptH4714 shall gather them upH6908[H8762], MemphisH4644 shall buryH6912[H8762] them: the pleasantH4261 places for their silverH3701, nettlesH7057 shall possessH3423[H8799] them: thornsH2336 shall be in their tabernaclesH168.
[7]The daysH3117 of visitationH6486 are comeH935[H8804], the daysH3117 of recompenceH7966 are comeH935[H8804]; IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045[H8799] it: the prophetH5030 is a foolH191, the spiritualH7307 manH376 is madH7696[H8794], for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771, and the greatH7227 hatredH4895.
[8]The watchmanH6822[H8802] of EphraimH669 was with my GodH430: but the prophetH5030 is a snareH6341 of a fowlerH3352 in all his waysH1870, and hatredH4895 in the houseH1004 of his GodH430.
[9]They have deeplyH6009[H8689] corruptedH7843[H8765] themselves, as in the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: therefore he will rememberH2142[H8799] their iniquityH5771, he will visitH6485[H8799] their sinsH2403.
[10]I foundH4672[H8804] IsraelH3478 like grapesH6025 in the wildernessH4057; I sawH7200[H8804] your fathersH1 as the firstripeH1063 in the fig treeH8384 at her first timeH7225: but they wentH935[H8804] to BaalpeorH1187, and separatedH5144[H8735] themselves unto that shameH1322; and their abominationsH8251 were according as they lovedH157.[H8800]
[11]As for EphraimH669, their gloryH3519 shall fly awayH5774[H8709] like a birdH5775, from the birthH3205[H8800], and from the wombH990, and from the conceptionH2032.
[12]Though they bring upH1431[H8762] their childrenH1121, yet will I bereaveH7921[H8765] them, that there shall not be a manH120 left: yea, woeH188 also to them when I departH5493 from themH8800!
[13]EphraimH669, as I sawH7200[H8804] TyrusH6865, is plantedH8362[H8803] in a pleasant placeH5116: but EphraimH669 shall bring forthH3318[H8687] his childrenH1121 to the murdererH2026.[H8802]
[14]GiveH5414[H8798] them, O LORDH3068: what wilt thou giveH5414[H8799]? giveH5414[H8798] them a miscarryingH7921[H8688] wombH7358 and dryH6784[H8802] breastsH7699.
[15]All their wickednessH7451 is in GilgalH1537: for there I hatedH8130[H8804] them: for the wickednessH7455 of their doingsH4611 I will drive them outH1644[H8762] of mine houseH1004, I will loveH160 them no moreH3254[H8686]: all their princesH8269 are revoltersH5637.[H8802]
[16]EphraimH669 is smittenH5221[H8717], their rootH8328 is dried upH3001[H8804], they shall bearH6213[H8799] no fruitH6529: yea, though they bring forthH3205[H8799], yet will I slayH4191[H8689] even the belovedH4261 fruit of their wombH990.
[17]My GodH430 will cast them awayH3988[H8799], because they did not hearkenH8085[H8804] unto him: and they shall be wanderersH5074[H8802] among the nationsH1471.
