1Rejoice <08055> (8799) not, O Israel <03478>_, for joy <01524>_, as [other] people <05971>_: for thou hast gone a whoring <02181> (8804) from thy God <0430>_, thou hast loved <0157> (8804) a reward <0868> upon every cornfloor <01637> <01715>_. {upon: or, in, etc}
2The floor <01637> and the winepress <03342> shall not feed <07462> (8799) them, and the new wine <08492> shall fail <03584> (8762) in her. {winepress: or, winefat}
3They shall not dwell <03427> (8799) in the LORD'S <03068> land <0776>_; but Ephraim <0669> shall return <07725> (8804) to Egypt <04714>_, and they shall eat <0398> (8799) unclean <02931> [things] in Assyria <0804>_.
4They shall not offer <05258> (8799) wine <03196> [offerings] to the LORD <03068>_, neither shall they be pleasing <06149> (8799) unto him: their sacrifices <02077> [shall be] unto them as the bread <03899> of mourners <0205>_; all that eat <0398> (8802) thereof shall be polluted <02930> (8691)_: for their bread <03899> for their soul <05315> shall not come <0935> (8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_.
5What will ye do <06213> (8799) in the solemn <04150> day <03117>_, and in the day <03117> of the feast <02282> of the LORD <03068>_?
6For, lo, they are gone <01980> (8804) because of destruction <07701>_: Egypt <04714> shall gather them up <06908> (8762)_, Memphis <04644> shall bury <06912> (8762) them: the pleasant <04261> [places] for their silver <03701>_, nettles <07057> shall possess <03423> (8799) them: thorns <02336> [shall be] in their tabernacles <0168>_. {destruction: Heb. spoil} {the...: or, their silver shall be desired, the nettle, etc.: Heb. the desire}
7The days <03117> of visitation <06486> are come <0935> (8804)_, the days <03117> of recompence <07966> are come <0935> (8804)_; Israel <03478> shall know <03045> (8799) [it]: the prophet <05030> [is] a fool <0191>_, the spiritual <07307> man <0376> [is] mad <07696> (8794)_, for the multitude <07230> of thine iniquity <05771>_, and the great <07227> hatred <04895>_. {spiritual...: Heb. man of the spirit}
8The watchman <06822> (8802) of Ephraim <0669> [was] with my God <0430>_: [but] the prophet <05030> [is] a snare <06341> of a fowler <03352> in all his ways <01870>_, [and] hatred <04895> in the house <01004> of his God <0430>_. {in the: or, against the}
9They have deeply <06009> (8689) corrupted <07843> (8765) [themselves], as in the days <03117> of Gibeah <01390>_: [therefore] he will remember <02142> (8799) their iniquity <05771>_, he will visit <06485> (8799) their sins <02403>_.
10I found <04672> (8804) Israel <03478> like grapes <06025> in the wilderness <04057>_; I saw <07200> (8804) your fathers <01> as the firstripe <01063> in the fig tree <08384> at her first time <07225>_: [but] they went <0935> (8804) to Baalpeor <01187>_, and separated <05144> (8735) themselves unto [that] shame <01322>_; and [their] abominations <08251> were according as they loved <0157> (8800)_.
11[As for] Ephraim <0669>_, their glory <03519> shall fly away <05774> (8709) like a bird <05775>_, from the birth <03205> (8800)_, and from the womb <0990>_, and from the conception <02032>_.
12Though they bring up <01431> (8762) their children <01121>_, yet will I bereave <07921> (8765) them, [that there shall] not [be] a man <0120> [left]: yea, woe <0188> also to them when I depart <05493> (8800) from them!
13Ephraim <0669>_, as I saw <07200> (8804) Tyrus <06865>_, [is] planted <08362> (8803) in a pleasant place <05116>_: but Ephraim <0669> shall bring forth <03318> (8687) his children <01121> to the murderer <02026> (8802)_.
14Give <05414> (8798) them, O LORD <03068>_: what wilt thou give <05414> (8799)_? give <05414> (8798) them a miscarrying <07921> (8688) womb <07358> and dry <06784> (8802) breasts <07699>_. {miscarrying: Heb. that casteth the fruit}
15All their wickedness <07451> [is] in Gilgal <01537>_: for there I hated <08130> (8804) them: for the wickedness <07455> of their doings <04611> I will drive them out <01644> (8762) of mine house <01004>_, I will love <0160> them no more <03254> (8686)_: all their princes <08269> [are] revolters <05637> (8802)_.
16Ephraim <0669> is smitten <05221> (8717)_, their root <08328> is dried up <03001> (8804)_, they shall bear <06213> (8799) no fruit <06529>_: yea, though they bring forth <03205> (8799)_, yet will I slay <04191> (8689) [even] the beloved <04261> [fruit] of their womb <0990>_. {the...: Heb. the desires}
17My God <0430> will cast them away <03988> (8799)_, because they did not hearken <08085> (8804) unto him: and they shall be wanderers <05074> (8802) among the nations <01471>_.
