They won’t pour wine offerings to Yahweh,
    and their sacrifices won’t please him.
    Their sacrifices will be like the food that mourners eat.
        All who eat this food will be unclean.
    Their food will only satisfy their hunger.
        It will not be brought as an offering to Yahweh’s temple.

What will they do on the day of an appointed festival
    or on Yahweh’s festival days?
Even if they escape without being destroyed,
    Egypt will capture them
        and Memphis will bury them.
            Weeds will grow over their silver treasures.
            Thorns will grow over their tents.
