1O Israel, do not rejoice for joy, like the peoples. For you have committed adultery against your God. You have loved for hire on every grain threshing floor. 2The threshing floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 3They shall not live in the land of Jehovah. But Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. 4They shall not offer wine to Jehovah; they shall not be pleasing to Him. Their sacrifices shall be like the bread of sorrows to them; all who eat it shall be defiled, for their bread for their life shall not come into the house of Jehovah. 5What will you do in the appointed day, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah? 6For, lo, they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver; thorns shall be in their tents. 7The days of visitation have come; the days of retribution have come. Israel shall know. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and your great hatred. 8The watchman of Ephraim is with my God, but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways; hatred is in the house of his God. 9They have deeply corrupted, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity; He will punish their sins. 10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor and set themselves apart to that shameful thing. And they became an abomination like that which they loved. 11The glory of Ephraim shall fly away like a bird; from birth, and from the womb, and from conception. 12Though they raise their sons, yet I will make them childless, until not a man is left. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them! 13As I watched Tyre, Ephraim was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall lead out his sons to the slayer. 14O Jehovah, give them. What will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 15All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them out of My house because of the wickedness of their doings, I will love them no more; all their rulers are rebellious. 16Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bear, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb. 17My God shall cast them away because they did not give heed to Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
