For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for hire on every threshing floor.
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.
Hosea Announces Israel's Punishment
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.

Nor shall their sacrifices be pleasing to Him.

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.
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.
What will you do in the appointed day,
And in the day of the feast of the Lord?

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

Thorns shall be in their tents.

The days of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.

The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.

The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
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.

No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!

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

Give them a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
