Hosea 9:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ The people will not stay in the Lord’s land.
    ·Israel [^LEphraim] will return ·to being captives as they were in [^Lto] Egypt,
    and in Assyria they will eat ·food that they are not allowed to eat [^Lunclean food; ^Cfood forbidden by the law; Lev. 11].
⁴ The Israelites will not ·give [pour out] offerings of wine to the Lord;
    and their sacrifices will not please him.
Their sacrifices will be like ·food that is eaten at a funeral [mourners bread; Deut. 26:14];
    it is unclean, and everyone who eats it becomes unclean [^Cbecause touched by someone who has touched a dead body; Num. 19:22].
Their food will only satisfy their hunger;
    ·they cannot sacrifice it in [^Lit will not come into] the Temple.
⁵ What will you do then on the day of ·feasts [your appointed festivals]
    and on the day of the Lord’s festival?
