Hosea 9:3-5

New International Version

³They will not remain^(A) in the Lord’s land;
    Ephraim will return to Egypt^(B)
    and eat unclean food in Assyria.^(C)
⁴They will not pour out wine offerings^(D) to the Lord,
    nor will their sacrifices please^(E) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;^(F)
    all who eat them will be unclean.^(G)
This food will be for themselves;
    it will not come into the temple of the Lord.^(H)

⁵What will you do^(I) on the day of your appointed festivals,^(J)
on the feast days of the Lord?

Hosea 9:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³They will not remain in ^(A)the Lord’s land,
But Ephraim will return to ^(B)Egypt,
And in ^(C)Assyria they will eat ^(D)unclean food.
⁴They 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.
⁵^(H)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the ^(I)feast of the Lord?
