bbe @Hosea:9:1 @Have no joy , O Israel , and do not be glad like the nations ; for you have been untrue to your God ; your desire has been for the loose woman 's reward on every grain-floor . bbe @Hosea:9:2 @The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food ; there will be no new wine for them . bbe @Hosea:9:3 @They will have no resting-place in the Lord 's land , but Ephraim will go back to Egypt , and they will take unclean food in Assyria . bbe @Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord , they will not make offerings ready for him ; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow ; all who take it will be unclean , because their bread will be only for their desire , it will not come into the house of the Lord . bbe @Hosea:9:5 @What will you do on the day of worship , and on the day of the feast of the Lord ? bbe @Hosea:9:6 @For see , they are going away into Assyria ; Egypt will get them together , Memphis will be their last resting-place ; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants , and thorns will come up in their tents . bbe @Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment , the days of reward are come ; Israel will be put to shame ; the prophet is foolish , the man who has the spirit is off his head , because of your great sin . bbe @Hosea:9:8 @There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim , the people of my God ; as for the prophet , there is a net in all his ways , and hate in the house of his God . bbe @Hosea:9:9 @They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah ; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing , he will give them punishment for their sins . bbe @Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land ; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time ; but they came to Baal-peor , and made themselves holy to the thing of shame , and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love . bbe @Hosea:9:11 @As for Ephraim , their glory will go in flight like a bird : there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life . bbe @Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away , so that not a man will be there ; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it . bbe @Hosea:9:13 @As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her , so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death . bbe @Hosea:9:14 @O Lord , what will you give them ? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk . bbe @Hosea:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal ; there I had hate for them ; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house ; they will no longer be dear to me ; all their rulers are uncontrolled . bbe @Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim , their root is dry , let them have no fruit ; even though they give birth , I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies . bbe @Hosea:9:17 @My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him ; they will be wandering among the nations .
