Rejoice
not, O Israel,
for joy,
as other people:
for thou hast gone a whoring
from thy God,
thou hast loved
a reward
upon every cornfloor.
The floor
and the winepress
shall not feed
them, and the new wine
shall fail
in her.
They shall not dwell
in the LORD'S
land;
but Ephraim
shall return
to Egypt,
and they shall eat
unclean
things in Assyria.
They shall not offer
wine
offerings to the LORD,
neither shall they be pleasing
unto him: their sacrifices
shall be unto them as the bread
of mourners;
all that eat
thereof shall be polluted:
for their bread
for their soul
shall not come
into the house
of the LORD.

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

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

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.
They have deeply
corrupted
themselves, as in the days
of Gibeah:
therefore he will remember
their iniquity,
he will visit
their sins.
I found
Israel
like grapes
in the wilderness;
I saw
your fathers
as the firstripe
in the fig tree
at her first time:
but they went
to Baalpeor,
and separated
themselves unto that shame;
and their abominations
were according as they loved.

As for Ephraim,
their glory
shall fly away
like a bird,
from the birth,
and from the womb,
and from the conception.
Though they bring up
their children,
yet will I bereave
them, that there shall not be a man
left: yea, woe
also to them when I depart
from them!
Ephraim,
as I saw
Tyrus,
is planted
in a pleasant place:
but Ephraim
shall bring forth
his children
to the murderer.
Give
them, O LORD:
what wilt thou give?
give
them a miscarrying
womb
and dry
breasts.
All their wickedness
is in Gilgal:
for there I hated
them: for the wickedness
of their doings
I will drive them out
of mine house,
I will love
them no more:
all their princes
are revolters.

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

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