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.
5 What will you do on the festival day,the day of the Lord’s feast?
6 When they flee from the devastation,Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them.Weeds will overgrow their silver treasures,and thorns, their tents.
7 They have come, the days of punishment!they have come, the days of recompense!Let Israel know it!“The prophet is a fool,the man of the spirit is mad!”Because your iniquity is great,great, too, is your hostility.
8 The watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God, is the prophet;yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,hostility in the house of his God.
9 They have sunk to the depths of corruption,as in the days of Gibeah; God will remember their iniquityand punish their sins.
10 Like grapes in the desert,I found Israel;Like the first fruits of the fig tree, its first to ripen,I looked on your ancestors.But when they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the Shameful One,they became as abhorrent as the thing they loved.
