Hosea 9:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ No longer will they pour libations of wine to the Lord,
    nor will their sacrifices please him.
To them such sacrifice will be like mourners’ bread
    that defiles all who eat of it.
Whatever food they have will be for them alone;
    it cannot enter the house of the Lord.
⁵ What will you do on the solemn feasts,
    on the festival day of the Lord?^[a]
6 Even if the people escape destruction,
    Egypt will gather them
    and Memphis^[b] will bury them.
Weeds will swallow up their treasures of silver,
    and thorns will overrun their tents.
