dby Hosea:9:1-10
dby@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
dby@Hosea:9:2 @ The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
dby@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
dby@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
dby@Hosea:9:5 @ What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
dby@Hosea:9:6 @ For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
dby@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
dby@Hosea:9:8 @ Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
dby@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
dby@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
