Hosea 9:4-6
New International Reader's Version

4 You won’t pour out wine offerings to the Lord.
    Your sacrifices won’t please him.
They’ll be like the bread people eat when someone dies.
    Everyone who eats those sacrifices will be “unclean.”
They themselves will have to eat that kind of food.
    They can’t bring it into the Lord’s temple.

5 What will you do when your appointed feasts come?
    What will you do on the Lord’s special days?
6 Some of you will escape without being destroyed.
    But you will die in Egypt.
    Your bodies will be buried at Memphis.
Weeds will cover your treasures of silver.
    Thorns will grow up in your tents.

Hosea 9:4-6
New International Version

4 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)

5 What will you do(F) on the day of your appointed festivals,(G)
    on the feast days of the Lord?
6 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.
