## translationNotes

* Hosea, the prophet, is speaking.
* **Their sacrifices will be to them like mourners' food** - The sacrifices they present to God will be unacceptable to God. (UDB) (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
* **For their food will be for them only; it will not be able to come into the house of Yahweh. ** - In exile, the nation will have food to eat, but none of that food will be acceptable to God as a sacrifice.
