Hosea 9:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 They shall not remain in the land of the Lord,
but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and in Assyria they shall eat unclean food.(A)
4 They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
and their sacrifices shall not please him.
Such sacrifices shall be like mourners’ bread;
all who eat of it shall be defiled,
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
it shall not come to the house of the Lord.(B)
5 What will you do on the day of appointed festival
and on the day of the festival of the Lord?(C)
Hosea 9:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 They will not stay in the land of the Lord.
Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt,(A)
and they will eat unclean food(B) in Assyria.(C)
4 They will not pour out
their wine offerings to the Lord,(D)
and their sacrifices will not please Him.
Their food will be like the bread of mourners;
all who eat it become defiled.(E)
For their bread will be for their appetites alone;
it will not enter the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on a festival day,(F)
on the day of the Lord’s feast?(G)
