< Hosea 9 >
1 May not you rejoice O Israel - to rejoicing like the peoples for you have prostituted yourself from with God your you have loved [the] hire of a prostitute on all threshing floors of grain.
2 Threshing floor and wine-press not it will feed them and new wine it will fail it.
3 Not they will remain in [the] land of Yahweh and he will return Ephraim Egypt and in Assyria unclean [food] they will eat.
4 Not they will pour out to Yahweh - wine and not they will be pleasing to him sacrifices their [will be] like bread of mourning to them all [those who] eat it they will make themselves unclean for bread their [will be] for self their not it will go [the] house of Yahweh.
5 What? will you do to [the] day of an appointed feast and to [the] day of [the] festival of Yahweh.
6 For there! they have gone from [the] devastation Egypt it will gather them Memphis it will bury them treasure of silver their nettle[s] it will take possession of them thorn[s] [will be] in tents their.
7 They have come - [the] days of punishment they have come [the] days of retribution let them know Israel [is] a fool the prophet [is] mad [the] person of the spirit on [the] greatness of iniquity your and great animosity.
8 [was] a watchman Ephraim with God my a prophet a trap of a fowler [is] on all ways his animosity [is] in [the] house of God his.
9 They have made deep they have dealt corruptly like [the] days of Gibeah he will remember iniquity their he will punish sins their.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel like early fig[s] on a fig tree at beginning its I saw ancestors your they they came Baal Peor and they devoted themselves to shame and they were detestable things as loved they.
11 Ephraim like bird it will fly away glory their from child bearing and from womb and from conception.
12 That except they will bring up children their and I will bereave them from everyone for also woe! to them when depart I from them.
13 Ephraim just as I have seen to Tyre [is] planted in pastureland and Ephraim to bring out to [one who] kills children his.
14 Give to them O Yahweh what? will you give give to them a womb [which] miscarry and breasts [which] dry up.
15 All wickedness their [is] in Gilgal for there I hated them on [the] wickedness of deeds their from house my I will drive out them not I will repeat to love them all leaders their [are] rebellious.
16 He has been struck Ephraim root their it has dried up fruit (not *Q(K)*) they will produce! also if they [masc] will give birth! and I will put to death [the] precious things of [masc] womb their.
17 He will reject them God my for not they have listened to him so they may be wanderers among the nations.
