호세아 9장 NASB
- 1 Do not rejoice O Israel with exultation like the nations! For you have played the harlot forsaking your God. You have loved harlots' earnings on every threshing floor.
- 2 Threshing floor and wine press will not feed them And the new wine will fail them.
- 3 They will not remain in the LORD'S land But Ephraim will return to Egypt And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
- 4 They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will be like mourners' bread; All who eat of it will be defiled For their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the LORD.
- 5 What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the feast of the LORD?
- 6 For behold they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.
- 7 The days of punishment have come The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool The inspired man is demented Because of the grossness of your iniquity And because your hostility is so great.
- 8 Ephraim was a watchman with my God a prophet; Yet the snare of a bird catcher is in all his ways And there is only hostility in the house of his God.
- 9 They have gone deep in depravity As in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity He will punish their sins.
- 10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame And they became as detestable as that which they loved.
- 11 As for Ephraim their glory will fly away like a bird--No birth no pregnancy and no conception!
- 12 Though they bring up their children Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left. Yes woe to them indeed when I depart from them!
- 13 Ephraim as I have seen Is planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
- 14 Give them O LORD--what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
- 15 All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.
- 16 Ephraim is stricken their root is dried up They will bear no fruit. Even though they bear children I will slay the precious ones of their womb.
- 17 My God will cast them away Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.
