9 Do not rejoice, Israel,

to joy like the peoples,

for you have prostituted yourself from upon your God.

You have loved prostitute-wages

on all the threshing floors of grain.

2 The threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them,

and the new wine will fail her.

3 They will not dwell in the land of Yahweh,

and Ephraim will return to Egypt,

and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.

4 They will not pour out wine to Yahweh,

and their sacrifices will not be pleasing to him;

like bread of mourning they will be to them;

all the eaters of it will be defiled.

For their bread will be for their appetite;

it will not enter the house of Yahweh.

5 What will you do for the day of meeting,

and for the day of the festival of Yahweh?

6 For behold, they go away from destruction,

Egypt will gather them;

Memphis will bury them.

Nettles will possess the precious things of their silver;

thorns will be in their tents.

7 The days of punishment have come;

the days of retribution have come.

Israel will know it!

The prophet is a fool;

the man of the Spirit is insane,

because of the abundance of your iniquity

and great hostility.

8 The watcher of Ephraim is with my God;

as for the prophet, a snare of a fowler is on all his ways;

hostility is in the house of his God.

9 They have made deep, they have corrupted themselves

as in the days of Gibeah.

He will remember their iniquity;

he will punish their sins.

10 Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel.

Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its beginning, I saw your fathers.

They, they came to Baal Peor,

and they devoted themselves to the shame,

and they became abominations like what they loved.

11 Ephraim—like a bird their glory will fly away—

from birth, and from womb, and from conception.

12 Even if they raise their children,

I will bereave them from a man.

For indeed, woe to them

when I turn away from them!

13 Ephraim—just as I have seen for Tyre,

planted in a meadow,

so Ephraim is to bring out his children to the slayer.

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

Give to them a miscarrying womb

and dry breasts.

15 All their evil is in Gilgal,

for there I hated them.

Because of the evil of their deeds,

I will drive them out of my house.

I will not continue loving them;

all their princes are rebels.

16 Ephraim is struck;

their root has dried up;

they will not produce fruit.

Even if they do give birth,

then I will kill the precious ones of their womb.

17 My God will reject them,

for they have not listened to him,

so they will be wanderers among the nations.
