1 # Rejoice <08055> (8799) not, O Israel <03478>, for joy <01524>, as other people <05971>: for thou hast gone a whoring <02181> (8804) from thy God <0430>, thou hast loved <0157> (8804) a reward <0868> upon every cornfloor <01637> <01715>.
2 The floor <01637> and the winepress <03342> shall not feed <07462> (8799) them, and the new wine <08492> shall fail <03584> (8762) in her.
3 They shall not dwell <03427> (8799) in the LORD'S <03068> land <0776>; but Ephraim <0669> shall return <07725> (8804) to Egypt <04714>, and they shall eat <0398> (8799) unclean <02931> things in Assyria <0804>.
4 They shall not offer <05258> (8799) wine <03196> offerings to the LORD <03068>, neither shall they be pleasing <06149> (8799) unto him: their sacrifices <02077> shall be unto them as the bread <03899> of mourners <0205>; all that eat <0398> (8802) thereof shall be polluted <02930> (8691): for their bread <03899> for their soul <05315> shall not come <0935> (8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
5 What will ye do <06213> (8799) in the solemn <04150> day <03117>, and in the day <03117> of the feast <02282> of the LORD <03068>?
6 For, lo, they are gone <01980> (8804) because of destruction <07701>: Egypt <04714> shall gather them up <06908> (8762), Memphis <04644> shall bury <06912> (8762) them: the pleasant <04261> places for their silver <03701>, nettles <07057> shall possess <03423> (8799) them: thorns <02336> shall be in their tabernacles <0168>.
7 # The days <03117> of visitation <06486> are come <0935> (8804), the days <03117> of recompence <07966> are come <0935> (8804); Israel <03478> shall know <03045> (8799) it: the prophet <05030> is a fool <0191>, the spiritual <07307> man <0376> is mad <07696> (8794), for the multitude <07230> of thine iniquity <05771> , and the great <07227> hatred <04895>.
8 The watchman <06822> (8802) of Ephraim <0669> was with my God <0430>: but the prophet <05030> is a snare <06341> of a fowler <03352> in all his ways <01870>, and hatred <04895> in the house <01004> of his God <0430>.
9 They have deeply <06009> (8689) corrupted <07843> (8765) themselves, as in the days <03117> of Gibeah <01390>: therefore he will remember <02142> (8799) their iniquity <05771>, he will visit <06485> (8799) their sins <02403>.
10 I found <04672> (8804) Israel <03478> like grapes <06025> in the wilderness <04057>; I saw <07200> (8804) your fathers <01> as the firstripe <01063> in the fig tree <08384> at her first time <07225>: but they went <0935> (8804) to Baalpeor <01187>, and separated <05144> (8735) themselves unto that shame <01322>; and their abominations <08251> were according as they loved <0157> (8800).
11 # As for Ephraim <0669>, their glory <03519> shall fly away <05774> (8709) like a bird <05775>, from the birth <03205> (8800), and from the womb <0990>, and from the conception <02032>.
12 Though they bring up <01431> (8762) their children <01121>, yet will I bereave <07921> (8765) them, that there shall not be a man <0120> left: yea, woe <0188> also to them when I depart <05493> (8800) from them!
13 Ephraim <0669>, as I saw <07200> (8804) Tyrus <06865>, is planted <08362> (8803) in a pleasant place <05116>: but Ephraim <0669> shall bring forth <03318> (8687) his children <01121> to the murderer <02026> (8802) .
14 Give <05414> (8798) them, O LORD <03068>: what wilt thou give <05414> (8799)? give <05414> (8798) them a miscarrying <07921> (8688) womb <07358> and dry <06784> (8802) breasts <07699>.
15 All their wickedness <07451> is in Gilgal <01537>: for there I hated <08130> (8804) them: for the wickedness <07455> of their doings <04611> I will drive them out <01644> (8762) of mine house <01004>, I will love <0160> them no more <03254> (8686): all their princes <08269> are revolters <05637> (8802).
16 Ephraim <0669> is smitten <05221> (8717), their root <08328> is dried up <03001> (8804), they shall bear <06213> (8799) no fruit <06529>: yea, though they bring forth <03205> (8799), yet will I slay <04191> (8689) even the beloved <04261> fruit of their womb <0990>.
17 My God <0430> will cast them away <03988> (8799), because they did not hearken <08085> (8804) unto him: and they shall be wanderers <05074> (8802) among the nations <01471>.
