Hosea 9 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Ephraim Punished

Hos 9:1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot, departing from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor.

Hos 9:2

Hos 9:2The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.

Hos 9:3

Hos 9:3They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.

Hos 9:4

Hos 9:4They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, 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 shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.

Hos 9:5

Hos 9:5What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?

Hos 9:6

Hos 9:6For, lo, they are gone away from destruction; yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.

Hos 9:7

Hos 9:7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.

Hos 9:8

Hos 9:8Ephraim was a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.

Hos 9:9

Hos 9:9They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

Hos 9:10

Hos 9:10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

Hos 9:11

Hos 9:11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.

Hos 9:12

Hos 9:12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

Hos 9:13

Hos 9:13Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.

Hos 9:14

Hos 9:14Give them, O Jehovah—what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

Hos 9:15

Hos 9:15All 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 revolters.

Hos 9:16

Hos 9:16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.

Hos 9:17

Hos 9:17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
