Hosea 9:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Of the hunger and captivity of Israel.
1 Rejoice not, O Israel for joy [a]as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loved [b]a reward upon every corn floor.
2 [c]The floor, and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3 They will not dwell in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean things in Assyria.

New International Version
Punishment for Israel
9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful(B) to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute(C)
at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(D) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(E) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
