- Kapitel 9 -

Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other for thou hast gone a whoring from thy thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.

The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.

They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.

They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto but they shall be vnto them as the bread of al that eate thereof, shalbe for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.

What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?

For loe, they are gone from but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.

The daies of visitation are the daies of recompence are Israel shall knowe the Prophet is a the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine therefore the hatred is great.

The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.

They are deepely they are corrupt as in the daies of therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.

I found Israel like grapes in the I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.

Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.

Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.

Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.

O Lord, giue what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.

All their wickednesse is in for there doe I hate for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine I will loue them no all their princes are rebels.

Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried they can bring no yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.

My God will cast them away, because they did not obey and they shall wander among the nations.

Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail her.

They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

They won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the LORD’s house.

What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

For, behold, when they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.

The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.

They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for 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 to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception.

Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!

I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.

Give them—LORD what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

“All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated 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.

Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”

My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
