Hosea 9:4-6
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
4 They shall not pour libations of wine to the Lord;
and they shall not please him with their sacrifices.
Their bread[a] shall be like mourners’ bread;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
it shall not come to the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on the day of appointed festival,
and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For behold, they are going to Assyria;[b]
Egypt shall gather them,
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;
thorns shall be in their tents.
