OET-RV HOS Chapter 9

OETHOS 9 ©

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

9:1Punishment coming for Yisrael

9Don’t celebrate Israel, with joy like the peoples.

because you’ve prostituted yourself—forsaking your God.

You’ve loved the wages of a sex-worker on all the threshing floors.

2The grain threshing floor and the winepress won’t provide enough

and the grape harvest will fail them.

3The people won’t remain on Yahweh’s land,

instead, Efraim/Yisrael will return to Egypt,

and they’ll eat non-kosher food in Assyria.


4They won’t pour out wine offerings to Yahweh,

and their sacrifices won’t please him.

To them, it’ll be like the food at a funeral—

everyone who eats it will become defiled.

Their food will only be for themselves to eat

it won’t be allowed into Yahweh’s residence.

5So what will you do on the day of an scheduled celebration,

and on the day of a festival for Yahweh?

6Listen, even if they avoid destruction,

Egypt will gather them.

Mof (Memphis) city will bury them.

Nettles will possess their valuable silver.

Thornbushes will be in their tents.


7The days of punishment have come.

The days of retribution have come.

Let Yisrael know these things.

The prophet is a fool,

the man of the spirit is insane,

because of the extent of your disobedience

and your intense hostility.[ref]

8The prophet is the watchman over Efraim/Yisrael with my God,

but the bird-catcher’s traps are on all of his paths,

and there’s hostility in his God’s house.

9They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the time of Gibeah.

He will remember their iniquity,

He will punish their sins.[ref]

9:10The consequences of Yisrael’s sin

10I found Israel like someone finding grapes there in the wilderness.

Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your ancestors.

But they came to Baal-Peor and they devoted themselves to that shameful thing.

They became detestable like that which they loved.[ref]

11As for Efraim/Yisrael, their splendour will fly away like a bird—

no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.

12Even if they bring up their children, I’ll cause them all to die one-by-one.

Yes, it certainly won’t end well when I turn away from them!


13Efraim, as I have seen, is like Tsor (Tyre) planted in a meadow,

yet Efraim will bring his children out to the slaughterman.”

14Give them something, Yahweh—what will you give?

Give them a womb that miscarries, and breasts with no milk.

9:15The judging of God of Israel

15“All their evil is in Gilgal—indeed I came to hate them there.

Because of the wickedness of their deeds, I’ll drive them out of my house.

I won’t love them any more—all their leaders are rebels.

16Efraim is stricken—it’s root has withered so now it can’t bear any fruit.

Even if they give birth, I will kill the precious ones of their womb.”

9:17The prophet’s message about Yisrael

17My God will reject them because they haven’t listened to him.

They will become wanderers among the nations.


9:7: Luk 21:22.

9:9: Jdg 19:1-30.

9:10: Num 25:1-5.
