Chapter 9

1


 

  Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.  

 

 

-

2


 

  The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.  

 

 

-

3


 

  They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.  

 

 

-

4


 

  They shall not offer wine-offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.  

 

 

-

5


 

  What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?  

 

 

-

6


 

  For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.  

 

 

-

7


 

  The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.  

 

 

-

8


 

  The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.  

 

 

-

9


 

  They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.  

 

 

-

10


 

  I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.  

 

 

-

11


 

  As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!  

 

 

-

13


 

  Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.  

 

 

-

15


 

  All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.  

 

 

-

17


 

  My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
