\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 1 Do not rejoice, Israel,
|
|||
|
|
\q with joy like the other peoples.
|
|||
|
|
\q For you have been unfaithful,
|
|||
|
|
\q forsaking your God.
|
|||
|
|
\q You love to pay the wages a prostitute requires
|
|||
|
|
\q on all the threshing floors.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 2 But the threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them;
|
|||
|
|
\q the new wine will fail her.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 3 They will not continue to live in Yahweh’s land;
|
|||
|
|
\q instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt,
|
|||
|
|
\q and one day they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 4 They will pour out no wine offerings to Yahweh,
|
|||
|
|
\q neither will they be pleasing to him.
|
|||
|
|
\q Their sacrifices will be to them like mourners' food:
|
|||
|
|
\q all who eat it will be defiled.
|
|||
|
|
\q For their food will be for themselves only;
|
|||
|
|
\q it will not be able to come into the house of Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 5 What will you do on the day of an appointed festival,
|
|||
|
|
\q on the day of a festival for Yahweh?
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 For, look, if they escape from destruction,
|
|||
|
|
\q Egypt will gather them,
|
|||
|
|
\q and Memphis will bury them.
|
|||
|
|
\q Their treasures of silver—
|
|||
|
|
\q sharp briers will overtake them,
|
|||
|
|
\q and thorns will fill their tents.
|
|||
|
|
|

\s5

\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 7 The days for punishment are coming;
|
|||
|
|
\q the days for retribution are coming.
|
|||
|
|
\q Let all Israel know these things.
|
|||
|
|
\q The prophet is a fool,
|
|||
|
|
\q and the inspired man is insane,
|
|||
|
|
\q because of your great iniquity
|
|||
|
|
\q and great hostility.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 8 The prophet who is with my God is the watchman for Ephraim,
|
|||
|
|
\q but a bird’s snare is on all of his paths,
|
|||
|
|
\q and hostility toward him is in the house of his God.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 9 They have deeply corrupted themselves
|
|||
|
|
\q as in the days of Gibeah.
|
|||
|
|
\q God will call to mind their iniquity,
|
|||
|
|
\q and he will punish their sins.

|
|
\v 10 Yahweh says, "When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness.
|
|||
|
|
\q Like the first fruit of the season on the fig tree, I found your fathers.
|
|||
|
|
\q But they went to Baal Peor,
|
|||
|
|
\q and they gave themselves to that shameful idol.
|
|||
|
|
\q They became as detestable as the idol they loved.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.
|
|||
|
|
\q There will be no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 12 Though they have brought up children,
|
|||
|
|
\q I will take them away so that none of them is left.
|
|||
|
|
\q Woe to them when I turn away from them!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 13 I have seen Ephraim, just like Tyre, planted in a meadow,
|
|||
|
|
\q but Ephraim will bring out his children to someone who will slaughter them."
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 14 Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them?
|
|||
|
|
\q Give them a miscarrying womb and breasts that give no milk.
|

|
|
|

|
|
\s5
|

|
|
\q
|

|
|
\v 15 "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,
|
|||
|
|
\q that is where I began to hate them.
|
|||
|
|
\q Because of their sinful deeds,
|
|||
|
|
\q I will drive them out of my house.
|
|||
|
|
\q I will love them no more;
|
|||
|
|
\q all their officials are rebels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 16 Ephraim is diseased;
|
|||
|
|
\q and their root is dried up;
|
|||
|
|
\q they bear no fruit.
|
|||
|
|
\q Even if they have children,
|
|||
|
|
\q I will put their beloved children to death."
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 17 My God will reject them
|
|||
|
|
\q because they have not obeyed him.
|
|||
|
|
\q They will become wanderers among the nations.
