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?
Hosea 9:3-5
American Standard Version
3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria. 4 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. 5 What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
