2. Threshing floor and wine vat will not sustain them, and the new wine will fail them.
3. They will not stay in the land of the Lord.Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
4. They will not pour outtheir wine offerings to the Lord, and their sacrifices will not please Him.Their food will be like the bread of mourners;all who eat it become defiled. For their bread will be for their appetites alone;it will not enter the house of the Lord.
5. What will you do on a festival day, on the day of the Lord’s feast?
6. For even if they flee from devastation,Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. Thistles will take possession of their precious silver;thorns will invade their tents.
