Hosea 9:5 in context

Hosea 9:2–8

2

The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,

and the new wine will fail her.

3

They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land;

but Ephraim will return to Egypt,

and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

4

They won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD,

neither will they be pleasing to him.

Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;

all who eat of it will be polluted;

for their bread will be for their appetite.

It will not come into the LORD’s house.

5
Selected verse

What will you do in the day of solemn assembly,

and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

6

For, behold, when they flee destruction,

Egypt will gather them up.

Memphis will bury them.

Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver.

Thorns will be in their tents.

7

The days of visitation have come.

The days of reckoning have come.

Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool,

and the man who is inspired to be insane,

because of the abundance of your sins,

and because your hostility is great.

8

A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God.

A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths,

and hostility in the house of his God.
