Hosea 9
9
Judgment of Israel’s Sin
1Do#Is. 22:12, 13; Hos. 10:5 not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples,
For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for #Jer. 44:17hire on every threshing floor.
2The threshing floor and the winepress
Shall not feed them,
And the new wine shall fail in her.
3They shall not dwell in #(Lev. 25:23); Jer. 2:7the Lord’s land,
#Hos. 7:16; 8:13But Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
And #Ezek. 4:13shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
4They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord,
Nor #Jer. 6:20shall their #Hos. 8:13; Amos 5:22sacrifices be pleasing to Him.
It shall be like bread of mourners to them;
All who eat it shall be defiled.
For their bread shall be for their own life;
It shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5What will you do in the appointed day,
And in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6For indeed they are gone because of destruction.
Egypt shall gather them up;
Memphis shall bury them.
#Is. 5:6; 7:23; Hos. 10:8Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver;
Thorns shall be in their tents.
7The #Is. 10:3; Jer. 10:15; Mic. 7:4; Luke 21:22days of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a #Lam. 2:14; (Ezek. 13:3, 10)fool,
#Mic. 2:11The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
8The #Jer. 6:17; 31:6; Ezek. 3:17; 33:7watchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
9#Hos. 10:9They are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of #Judg. 19:22Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
10“I found Israel
Like grapes in the #Jer. 2:2wilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the #Is. 28:4; Mic. 7:1firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to #Num. 25:3; Ps. 106:28Baal Peor,
And separated themselves to that shame;
#Ps. 81:12They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, #Deut. 31:17; Hos. 7:13woe to them when I depart from them!
13Just #Ezek. 26—28as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
14Give them, O Lord—
What will You give?
Give them #Luke 23:29a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
15“All their wickedness is in #Hos. 4:15; 12:11Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
#Is. 1:23; Hos. 5:2All their princes are rebellious.
16Ephraim is #Hos. 5:11stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”
17My God will #2 Kin. 17:20; (Zech. 10:6)cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be #Lev. 26:33wanderers among the nations.
