Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations;

    for you were unfaithful to your God.

The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,
    and the new wine will fail 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]
