9 Don’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.
2 The grain threshing floor and the winepress won’t provide enough
≈and the grape harvest will fail them.
3 The people won’t remain on Yahweh’s land,
instead, Efraim/Yisrael will return to Egypt,
≈and they’ll eat non-kosher food in Assyria.
4 They 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.
5 So what will you do on the day of an scheduled celebration,
and on the day of a festival for Yahweh?
6 Listen, even if they avoid destruction,
≈Mof (Memphis) city will bury them.
Nettles will possess their valuable silver.
≈Thornbushes will be in their tents.
7 The 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]
8 The 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.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the time of Gibeah.
10 I 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]
11 As for Efraim/Yisrael, their splendour will fly away like a bird—
no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
12 Even 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!
13 Efraim, as I have seen, is like Tsor (Tyre) planted in a meadow,
yet Efraim will bring his children out to the slaughterman.”
14 Give them something, Yahweh—what will you give?
Give them a womb that miscarries, and breasts with no milk.
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.
16 Efraim 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.”
