Hosea 9:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³They shall not remain in the land of the Lord;
but E′phraim shall return to Egypt,
and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.

⁴They shall not pour libations of wine to the Lord;
    and they shall not please him with their sacrifices.
Their bread^[a] 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.

⁵What will you do on the day of appointed festival,
and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
