Hosea 9:1 (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 O Israel, H3478 for H413 joy, H1524 as other people: H5971 for H3588 thou hast gone a whoring H2181 from H4480 H5921 thy God, H430 thou hast loved H157 a reward H868 upon H5921 every H3605 corn H1715 floor. H1637
2 The floor H1637 and the winepress H3342 shall not H3808 feed H7462 them , and the new wine H8492 shall fail H3584 in her.
3 They shall not H3808 dwell H3427 in the LORD's H3068 land; H776 but Ephraim H669 shall return H7725 to Egypt, H4714 and they shall eat H398 unclean H2931 things in Assyria. H804
4 They shall not H3808 offer H5258 wine H3196 offerings to the LORD, H3068 neither H3808 shall they be pleasing H6149 unto him : their sacrifices H2077 shall be unto them as the bread H3899 of mourners; H205 all H3605 that eat H398 thereof shall be polluted: H2930 for H3588 their bread H3899 for their soul H5315 shall not H3808 come into H935 the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
5 What H4100 will ye do H6213 in the solemn H4150 day, H3117 and in the day H3117 of the feast H2282 of the LORD H3068 ?
6 For H3588 , lo, H2009 they are gone H1980 because of destruction H4480 H7701 : Egypt H4714 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 shall be in their tabernacles. H168
7 The days H3117 of visitation H6486 are come, H935 the days H3117 of recompense H7966 are come; H935 Israel H3478 shall know H3045 it : the prophet H5030 is a fool, H191 the spiritual H7307 man H376 is mad, H7696 for H5921 the multitude H7230 of thine iniquity, H5771 and the great H7227 hatred. H4895
8 The watchman H6822 of Ephraim H669 was with H5973 my God: H430 but the prophet H5030 is a snare H6341 of a fowler H3352 in H5921 all H3605 his ways, H1870 and hatred H4895 in the house H1004 of his God. H430
9 They have deeply H6009 corrupted H7843 themselves , as in the days H3117 of Gibeah: H1390 therefore he will remember H2142 their iniquity, H5771 he will visit H6485 their sins. H2403
10 I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness; H4057 I saw H7200 your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time: H7225 but they H1992 went H935 to Baal- H1187 peor , and separated themselves H5144 unto that shame; H1322 and their abominations H8251 were H1961 according as they loved. H157
11 As for Ephraim, H669 their glory H3519 shall fly away H5774 like a bird, H5775 from the birth H4480 H3205 , and from the womb H4480 H990 , and from the conception H4480 H2032 .
12 Though H3588 H518 they bring up H1431 H853 their children, H1121 yet will I bereave H7921 them, that there shall not be a man H4480 H120 left : yea, H3588 woe H188 also H1571 to them when I depart H5493 from H4480 them!
13 Ephraim H669 , as H834 I saw H7200 Tyrus, H6865 is planted H8362 in a pleasant place: H5116 but Ephraim H669 shall bring forth H3318 his children H1121 to H413 the murderer. H2026
14 Give H5414 them , O LORD: H3068 what H4100 wilt thou give H5414 ? give H5414 them a miscarrying H7921 womb H7358 and dry H6784 breasts. H7699
15 All H3605 their wickedness H7451 is in Gilgal: H1537 for H3588 there H8033 I hated H8130 them: for H5921 the wickedness H7455 of their doings H4611 I will drive them out H1644 of mine house H4480 H1004 , I will love H157 them no H3808 more: H3254 all H3605 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 yea, H1571 though H3588 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 they did not H3808 hearken H8085 unto him : and they shall be H1961 wanderers H5074 among the nations. H1471
