Don’t rejoice, Isra’el!
Don’t enjoy yourselves as other peoples do;
for you have gone whoring away from your God,
you love being hired as a whore on every grain-floor.
Threshing-floor and winepress won’t feed them,
and new wine will disappoint her.
They won’t remain in the land of Adonai;
instead, Efrayim will return to Egypt,
and they will eat unclean food in Ashur.

Punishment for Israel

Do not rejoice, Israel;
    do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.

    Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
    and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
