Punishment for Israel

“Don’t celebrate, Israel, like other nations would rejoice,
because you left your God by committing fornication,
        loving the profit you gained on all of the threshing floors.
Neither threshing floor nor winepress will sustain them,
    and the new wine will disappoint her.
They will not live in the Lord’s land—
    Ephraim will return to Egypt,
        and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

Punishment for Israel

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.
Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
    the new wine(D) will fail them.
They will not remain(E) in the Lord’s land;
    Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
    and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
