Hosea 9:3-5
English Standard Version
3 They shall not remain in (A)the land of the Lord,
but (B)Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and (C)they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 (D)They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
(E)and their sacrifices shall not please him.
It shall be like (F)mourners' bread to them;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
(G)it shall not come to the house of the Lord.
5 (H)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival,
and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
Hosea 9:3-5
Common English Bible
3 They won’t remain in the land of the Lord;
but Ephraim will return to Egypt,
and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
4 They won’t pour wine as an offering to the Lord;
their sacrifices won’t please him.
Such sacrifices will be like food for those who touch the dead;
all who eat of it will be unclean;
their bread will be for their hunger alone;
it will not come to the Lord’s house.
5 What will you do on the day of appointed festival,
on the day of the Lord’s festival?
