1. Rejoice not, O Israel, exult not like the nations! For you have been unfaithful to your God, loving a harlot's hire upon every threshing floor.
|
1. Rejoice H8055 not H408 , O Israel H3478 , for H413 joy H1524 , as other people H5971 : for H3588 thou hast gone a whoring H2181 from H4480 H5921 thy God H430 , thou hast loved H157 a reward H868 upon H5921 every H3605 corn H1715 floor H1637 .
|
|
2. Threshing floor and wine press shall not nourish them, the new wine shall fail them.
|
2. The floor H1637 and the winepress H3342 shall not H3808 feed H7462 them , and the new wine H8492 shall fail H3584 in her.
|
|
3. They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria they shall eat unclean food.
|
3. They shall not H3808 dwell H3427 in the LORD H3068 's land H776 ; but Ephraim H669 shall return H7725 to Egypt H4714 , and they shall eat H398 unclean H2931 things in Assyria H804 .
|
|
4. They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD, or proffer their sacrifices before him. Theirs will be like mourners' bread, that makes unclean all who eat of it; Such food as they have shall be for themselves; it cannot enter the house of the LORD.
|
4. They shall not H3808 offer H5258 wine H3196 offerings to the LORD H3068 , neither H3808 shall they be pleasing H6149 unto him : their sacrifices H2077 shall be unto them as the bread H3899 of mourners H205 ; all H3605 that eat H398 thereof shall be polluted H2930 : for H3588 their bread H3899 for their soul H5315 shall not H3808 come into H935 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
5. What will you do on the festival day, the day of the LORD'S feast?
|
5. What H4100 will ye do H6213 in the solemn H4150 day H3117 , and in the day H3117 of the feast H2282 of the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
6. When they go from the ruins, Egypt shall gather them in, Memphis shall bury them. Weeds shall overgrow their silver treasures, and thorns invade their tents.
|
6. For H3588 , lo H2009 , they are gone H1980 because of destruction H4480 H7701 : Egypt H4714 shall gather them up H6908 , Memphis H4644 shall bury H6912 them : the pleasant H4261 places for their silver H3701 , nettles H7057 shall possess H3423 them: thorns H2336 shall be in their tabernacles H168 .
|
|
7. They have come, the days of punishment! they have come, the days of recompense! Let Israel know it! "The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad!" Because your iniquity is great, great, too, is your hostility.
|
7. The days H3117 of visitation H6486 are come H935 , the days H3117 of recompense H7966 are come H935 ; Israel H3478 shall know H3045 it : the prophet H5030 is a fool H191 , the spiritual H7307 man H376 is mad H7696 , for H5921 the multitude H7230 of thine iniquity H5771 , and the great H7227 hatred H4895 .
|
|
8. A prophet is Ephraim's watchman with God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, hostility in the house of his God.
|
8. The watchman H6822 of Ephraim H669 was with H5973 my God H430 : but the prophet H5030 is a snare H6341 of a fowler H3352 in H5921 all H3605 his ways H1870 , and hatred H4895 in the house H1004 of his God H430 .
|
|
9. They have sunk to the depths of corruption, as in the days of Gibeah; He shall remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
|
9. They have deeply H6009 corrupted H7843 themselves , as in the days H3117 of Gibeah H1390 : therefore he will remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 , he will visit H6485 their sins H2403 .
|
|
10. Like grapes in the desert, I found Israel; Like the first fruits of the fig tree in its prime, I considered your fathers. When they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the Shame, they became as abhorrent as the thing they loved.
|
10. I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness H4057 ; I saw H7200 your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time H7225 : but they H1992 went H935 to Baal H1187 -peor , and separated themselves H5144 unto that shame H1322 ; and their abominations H8251 were H1961 according as they loved H157 .
|
|
11. The glory of Ephraim flies away like a bird: no birth, no carrying in the womb, no conception. Were they to bear children, I would slay the darlings of their womb.
|
11. As for Ephraim H669 , their glory H3519 shall fly away H5774 like a bird H5775 , from the birth H4480 H3205 , and from the womb H4480 H990 , and from the conception H4480 H2032 .
|
|
12. Even though they bring up their children, I will make them childless, till not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
|
12. Though H3588 H518 they bring up H1431 H853 their children H1121 , yet will I bereave H7921 them, that there shall not be a man H4480 H120 left : yea H3588 , woe H188 also H1571 to them when I depart H5493 from H4480 them!
|
|
13. Ephraim, as I saw, was like Tyre, planted in a beauteous spot; But Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
|
13. Ephraim H669 , as H834 I saw H7200 Tyrus H6865 , is planted H8362 in a pleasant place H5116 : but Ephraim H669 shall bring forth H3318 his children H1121 to H413 the murderer H2026 .
|
|
14. Give them, O LORD! give them what? Give them an unfruitful womb, and dry breasts!
|
14. Give H5414 them , O LORD H3068 : what H4100 wilt thou give H5414 ? give H5414 them a miscarrying H7921 womb H7358 and dry H6784 breasts H7699 .
|
|
15. All their wickedness is in Gilgal; yes, there they incurred my hatred. Because of their wicked deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no longer; all their princes are rebels.
|
15. All H3605 their wickedness H7451 is in Gilgal H1537 : for H3588 there H8033 I hated H8130 them: for H5921 the wickedness H7455 of their doings H4611 I will drive them out H1644 of mine house H4480 H1004 , I will love H157 them no H3808 more H3254 : all H3605 their princes H8269 are revolters H5637 .
|
|
16. Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit.
|
16. Ephraim H669 is smitten H5221 , their root H8328 is dried up H3001 , they shall bear H6213 no H1077 fruit H6529 : yea H1571 , though H3588 they bring forth H3205 , yet will I slay H4191 even the beloved H4261 fruit of their womb H990 .
|
|
17. My God will disown them because they have not listened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
|
17. My God H430 will cast them away H3988 , because H3588 they did not H3808 hearken H8085 unto him : and they shall be H1961 wanderers H5074 among the nations H1471 .
