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
New American Standard Bible
3 They 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.
4 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.
5 (H)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the (I)feast of the Lord?
