World English Bible Classic
[1] Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations;
for you were unfaithful to your God.
You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
[2] The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,
and the new wine will fail her.
[3] They won’t dwell in Yahweh’s land;
but Ephraim will return to Egypt,
and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
[4] They won’t pour out wine offerings to Yahweh,
neither will they be pleasing to him.
Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;
all who eat of it will be polluted;
for their bread will be for their appetite.
It will not come into Yahweh’s house.
[5] What will you do in the day of solemn assembly,
and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?
[6] For, behold, when they flee destruction,
Egypt will gather them up.
Memphis will bury them.
Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver.
Thorns will be in their tents.
[7] The days of visitation have come.
The days of reckoning have come.
Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool,
and the man who is inspired to be insane,
because of the abundance of your sins,
and because your hostility is great.
[8] A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God.
A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.
[9] They have deeply corrupted themselves,
as in the days of Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity.
He will punish them for their sins.
[10] I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season;
but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing,
and became abominable like that which they loved.
[11] As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.
There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception.
[12] Though they bring up their children,
yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left.
Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!
[13] I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;
but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
[14] Give them—Yahweh what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. [15] “All their wickedness is in Gilgal;
for there I hated them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds, I will drive them out of my house!
I will love them no more.
All their princes are rebels.
[16] Ephraim is struck.
Their root has dried up.
They will bear no fruit.
Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.” [17] My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him;
and they will be wanderers among the nations.
for you were unfaithful to your God.
You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
[2] The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,
and the new wine will fail her.

and they will be wanderers among the nations.
King James Version
Days of Recompence
[1] Rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) not, O Israel, H3478 for joy, H1524 as other people: H5971 for thou hast gone a whoring H2181 (QalPerf) from thy God, H430 thou hast loved H157 (QalPerf) a reward H868 upon§ every cornfloor. H1637 [2] The floor H1637 and the winepress H3342§ shall not feed H7462 (QalImpf) them, and the new wine H8492 shall fail H3584 (PielImpf) in her. [3] They shall not dwell H3427 (QalImpf) in the Lord’s H3068 land; H776 but Ephraim H669 shall return H7725 (QalPerf) to Egypt, H4714 and they shall eat H398 (QalImpf) unclean H2931 things in Assyria. H804 [4] They shall not offer H5258 (QalImpf) wine H3196 offerings to the Lord, H3068 neither shall they be pleasing H6149 (QalImpf) unto him: their sacrifices H2077 shall be unto them as the bread H3899 of mourners; H205 all that eat H398 (QalActPtc) thereof shall be polluted: H2930 (HithImpf) for their bread H3899 for their soul H5315 shall not come H935 (QalImpf) into the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [5] What will ye do H6213 (QalImpf) in the solemn H4150 day, H3117 and in the day H3117 of the feast H2282 of the Lord? H3068 [6] For, lo, they are gone H1980 (QalPerf) because of destruction: H7701§ Egypt H4714 shall gather them up, H6908 (PielImpf) Memphis H4644 shall bury H6912 (PielImpf) them: the pleasant H4261 places for their silver, H3701 nettles H7057§ shall possess H3423 (QalImpf) them: thorns H2336 shall be in their tabernacles. H168 [7] The days H3117 of visitation H6486 are come, H935 (QalPerf) the days H3117 of recompence H7966 are come; H935 (QalPerf) Israel H3478 shall know H3045 (QalImpf) it: the prophet H5030 is a fool, H191 the spiritual H7307 man H376§ is mad, H7696 (PualPtc) for the multitude H7230 of thine iniquity, H5771 and the great H7227 hatred. H4895 [8] The watchman H6822 (QalActPtc) of Ephraim H669 was with my God: H430 but the prophet H5030 is a snare H6341 of a fowler H3352 in§ all his ways, H1870 and hatred H4895 in the house H1004 of his God. H430 [9] They have deeply H6009 (HiphPerf) corrupted H7843 (PielPerf) themselves, as in the days H3117 of Gibeah: H1390 therefore he will remember H2142 (QalImpf) their iniquity, H5771 he will visit H6485 (QalImpf) their sins. H2403 [10] I found H4672 (QalPerf) Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness; H4057 I saw H7200 (QalPerf) your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time: H7225 but they went H935 (QalPerf) to Baal-peor, H1187 and separated H5144 (NiphImpf) themselves unto that shame; H1322 and their abominations H8251 were according as they loved. H157 (QalInf) [11] As for Ephraim, H669 their glory H3519 shall fly away H5774 (HiplImpf) like a bird, H5775 from the birth, H3205 (QalInf) and from the womb, H990 and from the conception. H2032 [12] Though they bring up H1431 (PielImpf) their children, H1121 yet will I bereave H7921 (PielPerf) them, that there shall not be a man H120 left: yea, woe H188 also to them when I depart H5493 (QalInf) from them! [13] Ephraim, H669 as I saw H7200 (QalPerf) Tyrus, H6865 is planted H8362 (QalPasPtc) in a pleasant place: H5116 but Ephraim H669 shall bring forth H3318 (HiphInf) his children H1121 to the murderer. H2026 (QalActPtc) [14] Give H5414 (QalImpv) them, O Lord: H3068 what wilt thou give? H5414 (QalImpf) give H5414 (QalImpv) them a miscarrying H7921 (HiphPtc)§ womb H7358 and dry H6784 (QalActPtc) breasts. H7699 [15] All their wickedness H7451 is in Gilgal: H1537 for there I hated H8130 (QalPerf) them: for the wickedness H7455 of their doings H4611 I will drive them out H1644 (PielImpf) of mine house, H1004 I will love H160 them no more: H3254 (HiphImpf) all their princes H8269 are revolters. H5637 (QalActPtc) [16] Ephraim H669 is smitten, H5221 (HophPerf) their root H8328 is dried up, H3001 (QalPerf) they shall bear H6213 (QalImpf) no fruit: H6529 yea, though they bring forth, H3205 (QalImpf) yet will I slay H4191 (HiphPerf) even the beloved§ H4261 fruit of their womb. H990 [17] My God H430 will cast them away, H3988 (QalImpf) because they did not hearken H8085 (QalPerf) unto him: and they shall be wanderers H5074 (QalActPtc) among the nations. H1471Footnotes
