Hosea 9:1-2
Modern English Version
The Punishment of Israel
9 Do not rejoice, O Israel!
Do not exult[a] like the peoples,

You have loved a prostitute’s wages
on every threshing floor.
2 The threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them,
and the new wine will fail in her.

do not exult like the nations!

and new wine will fail her.[a]
