El castigo a Israel
9 No te alegres, Israel;
no hagas fiesta como las naciones,
porque te has prostituido.
¡Le has sido infiel a tu Dios!
Prefieres la paga de prostituta
que recibes en todos los trigales.[a]
2 Ni el trigo ni las uvas podrán alimentarlos;
el vino nuevo no tendrá el gusto que esperaban.
3 No habitarán en la tierra del Señor;
Efraín regresará a Egipto
y comerá inmundicias en Asiria.
4 No le ofrecerán al Señor más libaciones de vino,
ni le serán gratos sus sacrificios.
Se les volverá pan de lágrimas;
quienes lo coman quedarán impuros.
Tal vez les sirva para matar el hambre,
pero no tendrá cabida en la casa del Señor.
5 ¿Qué haréis vosotros en los días de fiesta,
o en las peregrinaciones en honor del Señor?
6 Aunque escapen de la destrucción,
los recogerá Egipto y los enterrará Menfis.
Sus tesoros de plata se llenarán de ortigas,
y los espinos invadirán sus tiendas.
7 Han llegado los días del castigo,
han llegado los días de la retribución.
¡Que lo sepa Israel!
Es tan grande tu maldad,
y tan intensa tu hostilidad,
que al profeta se le tiene por necio,
y al hombre inspirado, por loco.
8 El profeta, junto con Dios,
es el centinela de Efraín,[b]
pero enfrenta trampas en todos sus caminos,
y hostilidad en la casa de su Dios.
9 Han llegado al colmo de la corrupción,
como en los días de Guibeá;
¡pero Dios se acordará de sus perversidades
y los castigará por sus pecados!
10 «Cuando encontré a Israel,
fue como hallar uvas en el desierto;
cuando vi a vuestros antepasados,
fue como ver higos tiernos en la higuera.
Pero ellos se fueron a Baal Peor
y se entregaron a la vergüenza;
¡se volvieron tan detestables
como el objeto de su amor!
11 El esplendor de Efraín saldrá volando, como un ave;
no habrá más concepción ni embarazo ni nacimiento.
12 Y aun cuando vean crecer a sus hijos,
yo los arrebataré de este mundo.
¡Ay de ellos cuando los abandone!
13 He visto a Efraín y a Tiro plantados en una pradera.[c]
¡Pero Efraín entregará sus hijos al verdugo!»
14 Dales, Señor… ¿qué les darás?
¡Dales vientres que aborten y pechos resecos!
15 «Toda su maldad comenzó en Guilgal;
allí comencé a aborrecerlos.
Por causa de sus maldades,
los expulsaré de mi casa.
No volveré a amarlos,
pues todas sus autoridades son rebeldes.
16 Efraín se ha marchitado:
su raíz se secó y no produce fruto.
Aunque llegue a tener hijos,
mataré el precioso fruto de su vientre».
17 Porque no le obedecieron, mi Dios los rechazará;
¡andarán errantes entre las naciones!

The Lord Will Punish Israel
9 Rejoice not, O Israel!
Exult not like the peoples;
(A)for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.
(B)You have loved a prostitute's wages
on all threshing floors.
2 (C)Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,
and (D)the new wine shall fail them.
3 They shall not remain in (E)the land of the Lord,
but (F)Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and (G)they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 (H)They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
(I)and their sacrifices shall not please him.
It shall be like (J)mourners' bread to them;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
(K)it shall not come to the house of the Lord.
5 (L)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 are going away from destruction;
but (M)Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess (N)their precious things of silver;
(O)thorns shall be in their tents.
7 (P)The days of punishment have come;
the days of recompense have come;
Israel shall know it.
(Q)The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad,
because of your great iniquity
and great hatred.
8 The prophet is (R)the watchman of Ephraim with my God;
yet (S)a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.
9 (T)They have deeply corrupted themselves
as (U)in the days of Gibeah:
(V)he will remember their iniquity;
he will punish their sins.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
(W)I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But (X)they came to Baal-peor
and (Y)consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and (Z)became detestable like the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim's (AA)glory shall fly away like a bird—
(AB)no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 (AC)Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
(AD)Woe to them
when (AE)I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, (AF)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
but (AG)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
14 Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them (AH)a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in (AI)Gilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all (AJ)their princes are (AK)rebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
(AL)their root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even (AM)though they give birth,
(AN)I will put their beloved children to death.
17 (AO)My God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
(AP)they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Punishment for Israel
9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful(B) to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute(C)
at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(D) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(E) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(H) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(I) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(J)
all who eat them will be unclean.(K)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(L)
5 What will you do(M) on the day of your appointed festivals,(N)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(O)
and Memphis(P) will bury them.(Q)
Their treasures of silver(R) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(S) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(T) are coming,
the days of reckoning(U) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(V) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(W)
the inspired person a maniac.(X)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(Y) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(Z)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(AA)
as in the days of Gibeah.(AB)
God will remember(AC) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(AD)
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(AE) on the fig(AF) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(AG)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(AH)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(AI) will fly away like a bird(AJ)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(AK)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(AL) them of every one.
Woe(AM) to them
when I turn away from them!(AN)
13 I have seen Ephraim,(AO) like Tyre,
planted in a pleasant place.(AP)
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer.”(AQ)
14 Give them, Lord—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.(AR)
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,(AS)
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,(AT)
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;(AU)
all their leaders are rebellious.(AV)
16 Ephraim(AW) is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.(AX)
Even if they bear children,
I will slay(AY) their cherished offspring.”
