1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations! For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved harlots' earnings on every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floor and wine press will not feed them, And the new wine will fail them.
3 They will not remain in the Lord's land, But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
4 They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the Lord, Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will be like mourners' bread; All who eat of it will be defiled, For their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.
