1. Don’t rejoice, Israel!Don’t celebrate as other nations do;for as whores you have gone away from your God.You have loved a prostitute’s payon all threshing floors of grain.
2. Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them;the new wine will fail them.
3. They won’t remain in the land of the Lord;but Ephraim will return to Egypt,and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
4. They won’t pour wine as an offering to the Lord;their sacrifices won’t please him.Such sacrifices will be like food for those who touch the dead;all who eat of it will be unclean;their bread will be for their hunger alone;it will not come to the Lord’s house.
