Days of Punishment Have Come

(A)Do not be glad, O Israel, [a]with rejoicing like the peoples!
For you have (B)played the harlot, [b]forsaking your God.
You have loved harlots’ earnings on [c]every threshing floor.
Threshing floor and wine press will (C)not feed them,
And the new wine will deceive [d]them.
They will not remain in (D)the land of Yahweh,
But Ephraim will return to (E)Egypt,
And in (F)Assyria they will eat (G)unclean food.

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)
