9:1 Punishment coming for Yisrael
9 Don’t celebrate, Yisrael, 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, Efrayim/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 a 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 Efrayim/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.
