028:009:001
Rejoice not,
O Israel,
for joy,
as other people:
for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,
thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

028:009:002
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them,
and the new wine shall fail in her.

028:009:003
They shall not dwell in the LORD's land;
but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

028:009:004
They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD,
neither shall they be pleasing unto him:
their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners;
all that eat thereof shall be polluted:
for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

028:009:005
What will ye do in the solemn day,
and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

028:009:006
For,
lo,
they are gone because of destruction:
Egypt shall gather them up,
Memphis shall bury them:
the pleasant places for their silver,
nettles shall possess them:
thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

028:009:007
The days of visitation are come,
the days of recompence are come;
Israel shall know it:
the prophet is a fool,
the spiritual man is mad,
for the multitude of thine iniquity,
and the great hatred.

028:009:008
The watchman of Ephraim was with my God:
but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.

028:009:009
They have deeply corrupted themselves,
as in the days of Gibeah:
therefore he will remember their iniquity,
he will visit their sins.

028:009:010
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time:
but they went to Baalpeor,
and separated themselves unto that shame;
and their abominations were according as they loved.

028:009:011
As for Ephraim,
their glory shall fly away like a bird,
from the birth,
and from the womb,
and from the conception.

028:009:012
Though they bring up their children,
yet will I bereave them,
that there shall not be a man left:
yea,
woe also to them when I depart from them!

028:009:013
Ephraim,
as I saw Tyrus,
is planted in a pleasant place:
but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

028:009:014
Give them,
O LORD:
what wilt thou give?
give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

028:009:015
All their wickedness is in Gilgal:
for there I hated them:
for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house,
I will love them no more:
all their princes are revolters.

028:009:016
Ephraim is smitten,
their root is dried up,
they shall bear no fruit:
yea,
though they bring forth,
yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

028:009:017
My God will cast them away,
because they did not hearken unto him:
and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
