1 Rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} not, O Israel{H3478}, for joy{H1524}, as other people{H5971}: for thou hast gone a whoring{H2181}{(H8804)} from thy God{H430}, thou hast loved{H157}{(H8804)} a reward{H868} upon every cornfloor{H1637}{H1715}.

2 The floor{H1637} and the winepress{H3342} shall not feed{H7462}{(H8799)} them, and the new wine{H8492} shall fail{H3584}{(H8762)} in her.

3 They shall not dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} in the LORD'S{H3068} land{H776}; but Ephraim{H669} shall return{H7725}{(H8804)} to Egypt{H4714}, and they shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} unclean{H2931} things in Assyria{H804}.

4 They shall not offer{H5258}{(H8799)} wine{H3196} offerings to the LORD{H3068}, neither shall they be pleasing{H6149}{(H8799)} unto him: their sacrifices{H2077} shall be unto them as the bread{H3899} of mourners{H205}; all that eat{H398}{(H8802)} thereof shall be polluted{H2930}{(H8691)}: for their bread{H3899} for their soul{H5315} shall not come{H935}{(H8799)} into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}.

5 What will ye do{H6213}{(H8799)} in the solemn{H4150} day{H3117}, and in the day{H3117} of the feast{H2282} of the LORD{H3068}?

6 For, lo, they are gone{H1980}{(H8804)} because of destruction{H7701}: Egypt{H4714} shall gather them up{H6908}{(H8762)}, Memphis{H4644} shall bury{H6912}{(H8762)} them: the pleasant{H4261} places for their silver{H3701}, nettles{H7057} shall possess{H3423}{(H8799)} them: thorns{H2336} shall be in their tabernacles{H168}.

7 The days{H3117} of visitation{H6486} are come{H935}{(H8804)}, the days{H3117} of recompence{H7966} are come{H935}{(H8804)}; Israel{H3478} shall know{H3045}{(H8799)} it: the prophet{H5030} is a fool{H191}, the spiritual{H7307} man{H376} is mad{H7696}{(H8794)}, for the multitude{H7230} of thine iniquity{H5771}, and the great{H7227} hatred{H4895}.

8 The watchman{H6822}{(H8802)} of Ephraim{H669} was with my God{H430}: but the prophet{H5030} is a snare{H6341} of a fowler{H3352} in all his ways{H1870}, and hatred{H4895} in the house{H1004} of his God{H430}.

9 They have deeply{H6009}{(H8689)} corrupted{H7843}{(H8765)} themselves, as in the days{H3117} of Gibeah{H1390}: therefore he will remember{H2142}{(H8799)} their iniquity{H5771}, he will visit{H6485}{(H8799)} their sins{H2403}.

10 I found{H4672}{(H8804)} Israel{H3478} like grapes{H6025} in the wilderness{H4057}; I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} your fathers{H1} as the firstripe{H1063} in the fig tree{H8384} at her first time{H7225}: but they went{H935}{(H8804)} to Baalpeor{H1187}, and separated{H5144}{(H8735)} themselves unto that shame{H1322}; and their abominations{H8251} were according as they loved{H157}{(H8800)}.

11 As for Ephraim{H669}, their glory{H3519} shall fly away{H5774}{(H8709)} like a bird{H5775}, from the birth{H3205}{(H8800)}, and from the womb{H990}, and from the conception{H2032}.

12 Though they bring up{H1431}{(H8762)} their children{H1121}, yet will I bereave{H7921}{(H8765)} them, that there shall not be a man{H120} left: yea, woe{H188} also to them when I depart{H5493}{(H8800)} from them!

13 Ephraim{H669}, as I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} Tyrus{H6865}, is planted{H8362}{(H8803)} in a pleasant place{H5116}: but Ephraim{H669} shall bring forth{H3318}{(H8687)} his children{H1121} to the murderer{H2026}{(H8802)}.

14 Give{H5414}{(H8798)} them, O LORD{H3068}: what wilt thou give{H5414}{(H8799)}? give{H5414}{(H8798)} them a miscarrying{H7921}{(H8688)} womb{H7358} and dry{H6784}{(H8802)} breasts{H7699}.

15 All their wickedness{H7451} is in Gilgal{H1537}: for there I hated{H8130}{(H8804)} them: for the wickedness{H7455} of their doings{H4611} I will drive them out{H1644}{(H8762)} of mine house{H1004}, I will love{H160} them no more{H3254}{(H8686)}: all their princes{H8269} are revolters{H5637}{(H8802)}.

16 Ephraim{H669} is smitten{H5221}{(H8717)}, their root{H8328} is dried up{H3001}{(H8804)}, they shall bear{H6213}{(H8799)} no fruit{H6529}: yea, though they bring forth{H3205}{(H8799)}, yet will I slay{H4191}{(H8689)} even the beloved{H4261} fruit of their womb{H990}.

17 My God{H430} will cast them away{H3988}{(H8799)}, because they did not hearken{H8085}{(H8804)} unto him: and they shall be wanderers{H5074}{(H8802)} among the nations{H1471}.
