They will not remain in (A)the land of Yahweh,
But Ephraim will return to (B)Egypt,
And in (C)Assyria they will eat (D)unclean food.
They will not pour out drink offerings of (E)wine to Yahweh;
(F)Their sacrifices will not please Him.
Their bread will [a]be like [b]mourners’ bread;
All who eat of it will be (G)defiled,
For their bread will be for [c]themselves alone;
It will not enter the house of Yahweh.
(H)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the (I)feast of Yahweh?

    They will not remain
        in the land of Yahweh.
But Ephraim will return to Egypt,
    and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
They will not pour drink offerings of wine to Yahweh,
    and their sacrifices will not please him.
They are like mourners’ bread for them;
    all those who eat it will be defiled.
For their bread will be for their hunger;[a]
    it will not come to the house of Yahweh.
What will you do on the day of the appointed time,
    and on the day of the festival of Yahweh?
