The Punishment of Israel

Do not rejoice, O Israel!
    Do not exult[a] like the peoples,
for you have played the whore departing from your God.
    You have loved a prostitute’s wages
    on every threshing floor.
The threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them,
    and the new wine will fail in her.

Footnotes

  1. Hosea 9:1 Gk.; Heb. to exultation.

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people:
for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,
thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them,
and the new wine shall fail in her.
