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
Common English Bible
3 They won’t remain in the land of the Lord;
but Ephraim will return to Egypt,
and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
4 They won’t pour wine as an offering to the Lord;
their sacrifices won’t please him.
Such sacrifices will be like food for those who touch the dead;
all who eat of it will be unclean;
their bread will be for their hunger alone;
it will not come to the Lord’s house.
5 What will you do on the day of appointed festival,
on the day of the Lord’s festival?
