Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:1 - Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:2 - The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:3 - They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:4 - They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:5 - What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:6 - For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:7 - The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:8 - There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:9 - They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:10 - I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:11 - As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:12 - Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:13 - As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:14 - O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:15 - All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:16 - The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:17 - My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
