Hosea
Chapter 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people.
For you all have gone a whoring from your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
You all have loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
2
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them,
and
the new wine shall fail in her.
3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah/God's land.
But
Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and
they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
4
They shall not offer wine offerings to Jehovah/God,
neither
shall they be pleasing unto Him.
Their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners.
All who eat thereof shall be polluted.
For
their bread for their soul
shall
not come into the house of Jehovah/God.
5
What will you do in the solemn day,
and
in the day of the feast of Jehovah/God?
6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction.
Egypt shall gather them up.
Memphis
{also called Noph in Jeremiah 44:1}
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 recompense are come.
Israel shall know it.
The prophet is a fool.
The spiritual man is mad.
For the multitude of your iniquity . . . and the great hatred.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my 'Elohiym/Godhead.
But
the prophet is a snare of a fowler
in
all his Ways . . .
and
hatred in the house of his 'Elohiym/Godhead.
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 first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time.
But
they went to Baal-Peor,
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.
Yes, 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 Jehovah/God.
What will you all 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 my 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.
Yes,
though they bring forth,
yet
will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17
My 'Elohiym/Godhead will cast them away,
because
they did not hearken unto Him.
And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
