They will not remain in (A)the Lords land,
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 the Lord,
(F)Nor will [a]their sacrifices please Him.
Their bread will be to them like [b]mourners’ bread;
All who eat it will be (G)defiled,
Because their bread will be for [c]themselves alone;
It will not enter the house of the Lord.
(H)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the (I)feast of the Lord?

They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria. They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, [a]neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah. What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
