[Chapter 9]
9
Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as
other
people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3
They shall not dwell in the LORD’S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean
things
in Assyria.
4
They shall not offer wine
offerings
to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices
shall be
unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
5
What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
6
For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant
places
for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns
shall be
in their tabernacles.
7
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know
it:
the prophet
is
a fool, the spiritual man
is
mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8
The watchman of Ephraim
was
with my God:
but
the prophet
is
a snare of a fowler in all his ways,
and
hatred in the house of his God.
9
They have deeply corrupted
themselves,
as in the days of Gibeah:
therefore
he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time:
but
they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto
that
shame; and
their
abominations were according as they loved.
11
As for
Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12
Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them,
that there shall
not
be
a man
left:
yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13
Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus,
is
planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14
Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15
All their wickedness
is
in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes
are
revolters.
16
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay
even
the beloved
fruit
of their womb.
17
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
