Hosea 9:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ They won’t pour wine as an offering to the Lord;
        their sacrifices won’t please him.
    Such sacrifices will be like food for those who touch the dead;
        all who eat of it will be unclean;
        their bread will be for their hunger alone;
            it will not come to the Lord’s house.
⁵ What will you do on the day of appointed festival,
        on the day of the Lord’s festival?
⁶ Even if they escape destruction,
        Egypt will gather them,
        Memphis will bury them.
    Briars will possess their precious things of silver;^[a]
        thorns will be in their tents.
