Hosea Chapitre 9
Revised Standard Version
1
Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot"s hire upon all threshing floors.
2
Threshing floor and winevat shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail them.
3
They shall not remain in the land of the LORD; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4
They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD; and they shall not please him with their sacrifices. Their bread shall be like mourners" bread; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the LORD.
5
What will you do on the day of appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?
6
For behold, they are going to Assyria; Egypt shall gather them, Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.
7
The days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
8
The prophet is the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler"s snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9
They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will punish their sins.
10
Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree, in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Baalpeor, and consecrated themselves to Baal, and became detestable like the thing they loved.
11
Ephraim"s glory shall fly away like a bird -- no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12
Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!
13
Ephraim"s sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; Ephraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.
14
Give them, O LORD -- what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15
Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.
16
Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.
17
My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
