Berean Standard Bible
Rejoice
not, O Israel, for
joy,
like the peoples;
for thou
hast
played the harlot ,
`departing'
from
thy
God; thou
hast
loved
hire upon
every grain-
floor.
Do
not rejoice
, O Israel, with
exultation
like the nations,
for you
have
played the harlot against
your
God; you
have
made
love
for
hire on
every threshing
floor.
The threshing -
floor and the
winepress shall
not feed them, and the new wine shall
fail her
.
The threshing floor and winepress will
not feed them, and the new wine will
fail them
.
They shall
not dwell
in Jehovah's
land; but
Ephraim shall
return to Egypt ,
and they
shall
eat unclean food in Assyria.
They will
not remain
in the
land of
the
LORD
; Ephraim will
return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
They shall
not pour out wine -
offerings to Jehovah
, 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 shall
be for their
appetite
; it shall
not come
into
the house of Jehovah
.
They will
not pour out wine offerings to the
LORD
, and
their sacrifices will
not
please
Him,
but
will
be to
them like
the bread of mourners; all who
eat will
be defiled.
For their bread will
be for themselves
; it will
not enter
the house of the
LORD
.
What will ye
do in
the day of
solemn
assembly
, and
in
the day of the feast of
Jehovah
?

do on
the appointed
day, on
the day of the LORD’s
feast?
For ,
lo,
they are
gone
away
from
destruction ;
`yet'
Egypt shall
gather them up,
Memphis shall
bury them ;
their pleasant
things
of
silver, nettles
shall
possess
them;
thorns shall
be
in
their tents.
For even
if
they flee
destruction ,
Egypt will
gather them and
Memphis will
bury them .
Their precious
silver will
be
taken
over
by
thistles
, and
thorns will
overrun
their tents.
The days of visitation
are
come ,
the days of recompense
are
come;
Israel shall
know it :
the prophet is a fool, the man that
hath
the
spirit
is
mad
, for
the abundance
of thine
iniquity ,
and because
the
enmity
is
great
.
The days of punishment
have
come ;
the days of retribution
have
arrived—
let
Israel know it .

a fool, and
the inspired
man insane

of
the greatness
of your
iniquity and hostility

Ephraim
`was'
a
watchman with my God :
as
for
the
prophet
, a
fowler's
snare is
in
all his ways,
`and'
enmity
in the house of his God .
The
prophet
is
Ephraim’s
watchman ,
along
with my God, yet
the
snare of
the
fowler
lies
on
all his paths.
Hostility
is
in the house of his God !
They have deeply corrupted themselves ,
as in the days of Gibeah :
he will remember their iniquity,
he will visit
their sins.

He will punish
their sins.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness ;
I saw your fathers as the first-ripe
in
the fig -
tree at
its first season :
but they came
to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto
the shameful
thing ,
and
became
abominable
like
that
which
they loved.

as
detestable
as

for

glory shall
fly away like a bird :

shall
be
no birth, and
none
with
child
, and no conception.

they bring
up
their children, yet
will
I bereave them ,
so
that
not
a
man
shall
be
left:
yea

to them when I depart
from them!
Even
if
they raise
their children, I will
bereave them of
each
one.
Yes
, woe be
to them when I turn
away
from them!
Ephraim,
like
as
I have seen Tyre, is
planted in a pleasant
place:
but Ephraim shall
bring out his children to
the
slayer
.

like

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

what will
You
give? Give them wombs
that
miscarry
and breasts that
dry
up!
All their wickedness
is
in
Gilgal ;
for there I hated them :
because
of
the
wickedness
of
their
doings
I will drive them out
of
my house ;
I will love them no
more
; all their princes
are revolters
.
All their evil
appears
at
Gilgal ,

are rebellious
.
Ephraim is smitten,
their root is dried
up,
they shall
bear no
fruit :
yea,
though
they bring
forth
, yet
will
I slay the beloved
fruit
of their womb
.
Ephraim is struck
down;
their root is withered;
they cannot
bear fruit .
Even
if

children
, I will
slay the darlings
of their wombs
.

them away,
because they did
not hearken
unto
him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

them because they have
not obeyed
Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
