Rejoice
not,
O
Israel,
for
joy,
as
[other]
people:
for
thou
hast
gone
a
whoring
from
thy
God,
thou
hast
loved
a
reward
upon
every
cornfloor.
2
The
floor
and
the
winepress
shall
not
feed
them,
and
the
new
wine
shall
fail
in
her.
3
They
shall
not
dwell
in
the
LORD’S
land;
but
Ephraim
shall
return
to
Egypt,
and
they
shall
eat
unclean
[things]
in
Assyria.
4
They
shall
not
offer
wine
[offerings]
to
the
LORD,
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
for
their
soul
shall
not
come
into
the
house
of
the
LORD.
5
What
will
ye
do
in
the
solemn
day,
and
in
the
day
of
the
feast
of
the
LORD?
6
For,
lo,
they
are
gone
because
of
destruction:
Egypt
shall
gather
them
up,
Memphis
shall
bury
them:
the
pleasant
[places]
for
their
silver,
nettles
shall
possess
them:
thorns
[shall
be]
in
their
tabernacles.
7
The
days
of
visitation
are
come,
the
days
of
recompence
are
come;
Israel
shall
know
[it]:
the
prophet
[is]
a
fool,
the
spiritual
man
[is]
mad,
for
the
multitude
of
thine
iniquity,
and
the
great
hatred.
8
The
watchman
of
Ephraim
[was]
with
my
God:
[but]
the
prophet
[is]
a
snare
of
a
fowler
in
all
his
ways,
[and]
hatred
in
the
house
of
his
God.
9
They
have
deeply
corrupted
[themselves],
as
in
the
days
of
Gibeah:
[therefore]
he
will
remember
their
iniquity,
he
will
visit
their
sins.
10
I
found
Israel
like
grapes
in
the
wilderness;
I
saw
your
fathers
as
the
firstripe
in
the
fig
tree
at
her
first
time:
[but]
they
went
to
Baalpeor,
and
separated
themselves
unto
[that]
shame;
and
[their]
abominations
were
according
as
they
loved.
11
[As
for]
Ephraim,
their
glory
shall
fly
away
like
a
bird,
from
the
birth,
and
from
the
womb,
and
from
the
conception.
12
Though
they
bring
up
their
children,
yet
will
I
bereave
them,
[that
there
shall]
not
[be]
a
man
[left]:
yea,
woe
also
to
them
when
I
depart
from
them!
13
Ephraim,
as
I
saw
Tyrus,
[is]
planted
in
a
pleasant
place:
but
Ephraim
shall
bring
forth
his
children
to
the
murderer.
14
Give
them,
O
LORD:
what
wilt
thou
give?
give
them
a
miscarrying
womb
and
dry
breasts.
15
All
their
wickedness
[is]
in
Gilgal:
for
there
I
hated
them:
for
the
wickedness
of
their
doings
I
will
drive
them
out
of
mine
house,
I
will
love
them
no
more:
all
their
princes
[are]
revolters.
16
Ephraim
is
smitten,
their
root
is
dried
up,
they
shall
bear
no
fruit:
yea,
though
they
bring
forth,
yet
will
I
slay
[even]
the
beloved
[fruit]
of
their
womb.
17
My
God
will
cast
them
away,
because
they
did
not
hearken
unto
him:
and
they
shall
be
wanderers
among
the
nations.
