Hosea 9:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 They shall not offer [a]wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant unto him: but they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners: all that eat thereof, shall be polluted: for their bread [b]for their souls shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 What will ye do [c]then in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For lo, they are gone from [d]destruction: but Egypt shall gather them up, and Memphis shall bury them: the nettle shall possess the pleasant places of their silver, and the thorn shall be in their tabernacles.
