1. Do not rejoice, Israel,do not exult like the nations!For you have prostituted yourself, abandoning your God,loving a prostitute’s feeupon every threshing floor.
2. Threshing floor and wine press will not nourish them,the new wine will fail them.
3. They will not dwell in the Lord’s land;Ephraim will return to Egypt,and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
4. They will not pour libations of wine to the Lord,and their sacrifices will not please him.Their bread will be like mourners’ bread, that makes unclean all who eat of it;Their food will be for their own appetites;it cannot enter the house of the Lord.
