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 [C because touched by someone who has touched a dead body; Num. 19:22].
Their food will only satisfy their hunger;
    ·they cannot sacrifice it in [L it will not come into] the Temple.
What will you do then on the day of ·feasts [your appointed festivals]
    and on the day of the Lord’s festival?
[L Look; T Behold] Even if the people ·are not destroyed [escape destruction],
    Egypt will ·capture [or receive; L gather] them;
    Memphis [C a city in Egypt famous for its tombs] will bury them.
·Weeds [Briers; Nettles] will grow over their silver treasures,
    and thorns will ·drive them out of [possess; inherit] their tents.
