Hosea 9:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 They will not stay in the land of the Lord.
Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt,(A)
and they will eat unclean food(B) in Assyria.(C)
4 They will not pour out
their wine offerings to the Lord,(D)
and their sacrifices will not please Him.
Their food will be like the bread of mourners;
all who eat it become defiled.(E)
For their bread will be for their appetites alone;
it will not enter the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on a festival day,(F)
on the day of the Lord’s feast?(G)
Hosea 9:3-5
New International Version
3 They will not remain(A) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(B)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(C)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(D) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(E) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(F)
all who eat them will be unclean.(G)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(H)
