2. The threshing floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3. They shall not remain in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt and to Assyria where they shall eat unclean food.
4. They shall not pour out wine unto the Lord, neither shall he take pleasure in their sacrifices; as the bread of mourners shall they be unto them; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall not enter into the house of the Lord because of their soul.
5. What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6. For, behold, they have left because of the destruction; Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: nettles shall possess in inheritance that which is desirable of their silver; thorns shall grow up in their dwellings.
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 a fool, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8. The watchman of Ephraim regarding my God, the prophet, is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, hatred in the house of his God.
9. They have arrived at the depths, they have corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sin.
