Hosea 9:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
and their sacrifices shall not please him.
Such sacrifices 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.(A)
5 What will you do on the day of appointed festival
and on the day of the festival of the Lord?(B)
6 For even if they escape destruction,
Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;[a]
thorns shall be in their tents.(C)
