Hosea 9 (NET) New English Translation

1 O Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly like the nations, for you are unfaithful to your God. You love to receive a prostitute's wages on all the floors where you thresh your grain.
2 Threshing floors and wine vats will not feed the people, and new wine only deceives them.
3 They will not remain in the LORD's land. Ephraim will return to Egypt; they will eat ritually unclean food in Assyria.
4 They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD; they will not please him with their sacrifices. Their sacrifices will be like bread eaten while in mourning; all those who eat them will make themselves ritually unclean. For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.
5 So what will you do on the festival day, on the festival days of the LORD?
6 Look! Even if they flee from the destruction, Egypt will take hold of them, and Memphis will bury them. The weeds will inherit the silver they treasure— thorn bushes will occupy their homes.
7 The time of judgment is about to arrive! The time of retribution is imminent! Let Israel know! The prophet is considered a fool— the inspired man is viewed as a madman— because of the multitude of your sins and your intense animosity.
8 The prophet is a watchman over Ephraim on behalf of God, yet traps are laid for him along all of his paths; animosity rages against him in the land of his God.
9 They have sunk deep into corruption as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their wrongdoing. He will repay them for their sins.
10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. I viewed your ancestors like an early fig on a fig tree in its first season. Then they came to Baal-Peor and they dedicated themselves to shame— they became as detestable as what they loved.
11 Ephraim will be like a bird; what they value will fly away. They will not bear children— they will not enjoy pregnancy— they will not even conceive!
12 Even if they raise their children, I will take away every last one of them. Woe to them! For I will turn away from them.
13 Just as lion cubs are born predators, so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.
14 Give them, O LORD— what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry, and breasts that cannot nurse!
15 Because of all their evil in Gilgal, I hate them there. On account of their evil deeds, I will drive them out of my land. I will no longer love them; all their rulers are rebels.
16 Ephraim will be struck down— their root will be dried up; they will not yield any fruit. Even if they do bear children, I will kill their precious offspring.
17 My God will reject them, for they have not obeyed him; so they will be fugitives among the nations.
1 Rejoice H8055 not H408 NPAR , O Israel H3478 , for H413 PREP joy H1524 , as other people H5971 : for H3588 CONJ thou hast gone a whoring H2181 from M-PREP thy God H430 CMP-2MS , thou hast loved H157 a reward H868 upon H5921 M-PREP every H3605 NMS corn H1715 floor H1637 .
2 The floor H1637 and the winepress H3342 shall not H3808 NADV feed H7462 them , and the new wine H8492 shall fail H3584 in her .
3 They shall not H3808 NADV dwell H3427 VQY3MP in the LORD H3068 EDS \'s land H776 B-GFS ; but Ephraim H669 shall return H7725 W-VQQ3MS to Egypt H4714 EFS , and they shall eat H398 unclean H2931 things in Assyria H804 .
4 They shall not H3808 NADV offer H5258 wine H3196 NMS offerings to the LORD H3068 L-EDS , neither H3808 W-NADV shall they be pleasing H6149 unto him : their sacrifices H2077 shall be unto them as the bread H3899 of mourners H205 ; all H3605 NMS that eat H398 thereof shall be polluted H2930 : for H3588 CONJ their bread H3899 for their soul H5315 shall not H3808 NADV come into H935 VQY3MS the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
5 What H4100 IGAT will ye do H6213 in the solemn H4150 NMS day H3117 L-NMS , and in the day H3117 of the feast H2282 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?
6 For H3588 CONJ , lo H2009 IJEC , they are gone H1980 because of destruction H7701 M-NMS : Egypt H4714 EFS shall gather them up H6908 , Memphis H4644 shall bury H6912 them : the pleasant H4261 places for their silver H3701 , nettles H7057 shall possess H3423 them : thorns H2336 NMS shall be in their tabernacles H168 .
7 The days H3117 CMP of visitation H6486 are come H935 VQQ3MP , the days H3117 CMP of recompense H7966 are come H935 VQQ3MP ; Israel H3478 shall know H3045 it : the prophet H5030 is a fool H191 AMS , the spiritual H7307 man H376 NMS is mad H7696 , for H5921 PREP the multitude H7230 of thine iniquity H5771 CMS-2MS , and the great H7227 hatred H4895 .
8 The watchman H6822 of Ephraim H669 was with H5973 PREP my God H430 : but the prophet H5030 is a snare H6341 of a fowler H3352 in H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS his ways H1870 CMP-3MS , and hatred H4895 in the house H1004 B-CMS of his God H430 .
9 They have deeply H6009 corrupted H7843 themselves , as in the days H3117 K-CMP of Gibeah H1390 : therefore he will remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 , he will visit H6485 their sins H2403 .
10 I found H4672 VQQ1MS Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness H4057 ; I saw H7200 VQQ1MS your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time H7225 : but they H1992 PPRO-3MP went H935 VQQ3MP to Baal H1187 - peor , and separated themselves H5144 unto that shame H1322 ; and their abominations H8251 were H1961 W-VQY3MP according as they loved H157 .
11 As for Ephraim H669 , their glory H3519 shall fly away H5774 like a bird H5775 , from the birth H3205 , and from the womb H990 WM-CFS , and from the conception H2032 .
12 Though H518 PART they bring up H1431 their children H1121 , yet will I bereave H7921 them , that there shall not be a man H120 left : yea H3588 CONJ , woe H188 also H1571 CONJ to them when I depart H5493 from H4480 them !
13 Ephraim H669 , as H834 K-RPRO I saw H7200 VQQ1MS Tyrus H6865 , is planted H8362 in a pleasant place H5116 : but Ephraim H669 shall bring forth H3318 his children H1121 to H413 PREP the murderer H2026 VQPMS .
14 Give H5414 them , O LORD H3068 EDS : what H4100 IPRO wilt thou give H5414 VQY2MS ? give H5414 them a miscarrying H7921 womb H7358 NMS and dry H6784 breasts H7699 .
15 All H3605 NMS their wickedness H7451 CFS-3MP is in Gilgal H1537 : for H3588 CONJ there H8033 ADV I hated H8130 them : for H5921 PREP the wickedness H7455 of their doings H4611 I will drive them out H1644 of mine house H1004 , I will love H157 them no H3808 NADV more H3254 : all H3605 NMS their princes H8269 are revolters H5637 .
16 Ephraim H669 is smitten H5221 , their root H8328 is dried up H3001 , they shall bear H6213 no H1077 fruit H6529 NMS : yea H1571 CONJ , though H3588 CONJ they bring forth H3205 , yet will I slay H4191 even the beloved H4261 fruit of their womb H990 .
17 My God H430 will cast them away H3988 , because H3588 CONJ they did not H3808 NADV hearken H8085 VQQ3MP unto him : and they shall be H1961 wanderers H5074 among the nations H1471 .
