They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the Lord;
Their sacrifices will not please Him.
Their bread will be like mourners’ bread [eaten at funerals];
All who eat it will be [ceremonially] unclean,
For their bread will be for themselves;
It will not enter the house of the Lord [to be consecrated].

What will you do on the day of the appointed festival
And on the day of the feast of the Lord [when you are in exile]?

For behold, they will go away because of devastation and destruction;
Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them.
Weeds will take over their treasures of silver;
Thorns will grow in their tents.

They will not pour out wine offerings(A) to the Lord,
    nor will their sacrifices please(B) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(C)
    all who eat them will be unclean.(D)
This food will be for themselves;
    it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(E)

What will you do(F) on the day of your appointed festivals,(G)
    on the feast days of the Lord?
Even if they escape from destruction,
    Egypt will gather them,(H)
    and Memphis(I) will bury them.(J)
Their treasures of silver(K) will be taken over by briers,
    and thorns(L) will overrun their tents.
