Hosea 9 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Ephraim Punished

Hos 9:1Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot's hire upon all threshing floors.

Hos 9:2

Hos 9:2Threshing floor and winevat shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail them.

Hos 9:3

Hos 9:3They shall not remain in the land of the LORD; but E'phraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.

Hos 9:4

Hos 9:4They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD; and they shall not please him with their sacrifices. Their bread shall be like mourners' bread; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the LORD.

Hos 9:5

Hos 9:5What will you do on the day of appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?

Hos 9:6

Hos 9:6For behold, they are going to Assyria; Egypt shall gather them, Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.

Hos 9:7

Hos 9:7The days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.

Hos 9:8

Hos 9:8The prophet is the watchman of E'phraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

Hos 9:9

Hos 9:9They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gib'e-ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will punish their sins.

Hos 9:10

Hos 9:10Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree, in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Ba'al-pe'or, and consecrated themselves to Ba'al, and became detestable like the thing they loved.

Hos 9:11

Hos 9:11E'phraim's glory shall fly away like a bird--no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

Hos 9:12

Hos 9:12Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!

Hos 9:13

Hos 9:13E'phraim's sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; E'phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.

Hos 9:14

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

Hos 9:15

Hos 9:15Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.

Hos 9:16

Hos 9:16E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.

Hos 9:17

Hos 9:17My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
