Oséias 9

1 Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations;

2 The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,

3 They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land;

4 They won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD,

5 What will you do in the day of solemn assembly,

6 For, behold, when they flee destruction,

7 The days of visitation have come.

8 A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God.

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves,

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.

12 Though they bring up their children,

13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;

14 Give them—LORD what will you give?

15 "All their wickedness is in Gilgal;

16 Ephraim is struck.

17 My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him;
