Judgment of Israel’s Sin

Do(A) not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples,
For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for (B)hire on every threshing floor.
The threshing floor and the winepress
Shall not feed them,
And the new wine shall fail in her.

Ephraim Faces Punishment

Do not rejoice, O Israel,
do not exult like the nations!

on all the threshing floors of grain.
    Threshing floor and wine vat will not feed them,
and new wine will fail her.[a]
