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?
