# Hosea 9 (New King James Version) Judgment of Israel's Sin

Chapter 9
1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples,

For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for hire on every threshing floor.

2 The threshing 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 shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord,

Nor shall their sacrifices 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.

5 What will you do in the appointed day,

And in the day of the feast of the Lord?

6 For indeed they are gone because of destruction.

Egypt shall gather them up;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver;
Thorns shall be in their tents.

7 The days of punishment have come;

The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a fool,
The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.

8 The watchman 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 They are deeply corrupted,

As in the days of Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.

10 "I found Israel

Like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to Baal Peor,
And separated themselves to that shame;
They became an abomination like the thing they loved.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird--

No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!

12 Though they bring up their children,

Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

13 Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,

So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer."

14 Give them, O Lord--

What will You give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!

15 "All their wickedness is in Gilgal,

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.
All their princes are rebellious.

16 Ephraim is stricken,

Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb."

17 My God will cast them away,

Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
