Hosea 9:1-2
New Catholic Bible

Chapter 9

Such Sacrifice Will Be Like Mourners’ Bread

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel!
    Do not exult like the other nations!
For you have been unfaithful to your God;
    you have loved the wages of a prostitute
    upon every threshing floor.[a]
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed them,
    and the new wine will fail them.
