Hosea 9:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴They won’t present wine offerings to the Lord,
    nor will they please him.
Their sacrifices will seem like food for mourners—
    everyone who eats them will become unclean;
        none of them will enter the Temple of the Lord.

⁵“What will you do on the designated holiday,
    when the Lord’s festival comes?
⁶Look! They have gone away because of the destruction—
    Egypt will gather them up,
        and Memphis^[a] will bury them.
Weeds will overgrow their inheritance,^[b]
    and thorns will grow^[c] in their tents.
