4. They will not offer wine offerings to the Lord,and their sacrifices will not please Him.Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners;all who eat of it will be defiled.For their bread will be only to satisfy their own hunger;it will not come into the house of the Lord.
5. What will you do on the appointed day,and on the day of the festival of the Lord?
6. For indeed they are gone because of destruction.Egypt will gather them,and Memphis will bury them.Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver,and thorns will be in their tents.
7. The days of punishment have come;the days of recompense have come.Israel knows!The prophet is a fool;the man of the spirit is insane,because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
8. The watchman of Ephraim is a prophetfor my God;yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,and hatred in the house of his God.
9. They have deeply corrupted themselvesas in the days of Gibeah.He will remember their iniquity,He will punish their sins.
