2 The threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them,and the new wine will fail in her.
3 They will not dwell in the land of the Lord;but Ephraim will return to Egypt,and they will eat unclean things in Assyria.
4 They will not offer wine offerings to the Lord,and their sacrifices will not please Him.Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners;all who eat of it will be defiled.For their bread will be only to satisfy their own hunger;it will not come into the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on the appointed day,and on the day of the festival of the Lord?
6 For indeed they are gone because of destruction.Egypt will gather them,and Memphis will bury them.Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver,and thorns will be in their tents.
7 The days of punishment have come;the days of recompense have come.Israel knows!The prophet is a fool;the man of the spirit is insane,because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
8 The watchman of Ephraim is a prophetfor my God;yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,and hatred in the house of his God.
