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.

King James Version
Days of Recompence
[1] Rejoice H8055 not, O Israel, H3478 for joy, H1524 as other people: H5971 for thou hast gone a whoring H2181 from thy God, H430 thou hast loved H157 a reward H868 upon H5921§ every H3605 cornfloor. H1637 H1715 [2] The floor H1637 and the winepress H3342§ shall H7462 not H3808 feed H7462 them, and the new wine H8492 shall fail H3584 in her. [3] They shall H3427 not H3808 dwell H3427 in the Lord’s H3068 land; H776 but Ephraim H669 shall return H7725 to Egypt, H4714 and they shall eat H398 unclean H2931 things in Assyria. H804 [4] They shall H5258 not H3808 offer H5258 wine H3196 offerings to the Lord, H3068 neither shall they be pleasing H6149 unto him: their sacrifices H2077 shall be unto them as the bread H3899 of mourners; H205 all H3605 that eat H398 thereof shall be polluted: H2930 for their bread H3899 for their soul H5315 shall H935 not H3808 come H935 into the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [5] What H4100 will ye do H6213 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 because H3588 of destruction: H7701§ Egypt H4714 shall gather them up, H6908 Memphis H4644 shall bury H6912 them: the pleasant H4261 places for their silver, H3701 nettles H7057§ shall possess H3423 them: thorns H2336 shall be in their tabernacles. H168 [7] The days H3117 of visitation H6486 are come, H935 the days H3117 of recompence H7966 are come; H935 Israel H3478 shall know H3045 it: the prophet H5030 is a fool, H191 the spiritual H7307 man H376§ is mad, H7696 for the multitude H7230 of thine iniquity, H5771 and the great H7227 hatred. H4895 [8] The watchman H6822 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 corrupted H7843 themselves, as in the days H3117 of Gibeah: H1390 therefore he will remember H2142 their iniquity, H5771 he will visit H6485 their sins. H2403 [10] I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness; H4057 I saw H7200 your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time: H7225 but they went H935 to Baal-peor, H1187 and separated H5144 themselves unto that shame; H1322 and their abominations H8251 were according as they loved. H157 [11] As for Ephraim, H669 their glory H3519 shall fly away H5774 like a bird, H5775 from the birth, H3205 and from the womb, H990 and from the conception. H2032 [12] Though they bring up H1431 H853 their children, H1121 yet will I bereave H7921 them, that there shall not be a man H120 left: yea, woe H188 also H1571 to them when I depart H5493 from them! [13] Ephraim, H669 as I saw H7200 Tyrus, H6865 is planted H8362 in a pleasant place: H5116 but Ephraim H669 shall bring forth H3318 his children H1121 to the murderer. H2026 [14] Give H5414 them, O Lord: H3068 what H4100 wilt thou give? H5414 give H5414 them a miscarrying H7921§ womb H7358 and dry H6784 breasts. H7699 [15] All H3605 their wickedness H7451 is in Gilgal: H1537 for H3588 there H8033 I hated H8130 them: for the wickedness H7455 of their doings H4611 I will drive them out H1644 of mine house, H1004 I will love H160 them no more: H3254 all H3605 their princes H8269 are revolters. H5637 [16] Ephraim H669 is smitten, H5221 their root H8328 is dried up, H3001 they shall bear H6213 no fruit: H6529 yea, though they bring forth, H3205 yet will I slay H4191 even the beloved H4261§ fruit of their womb. H990 [17] My God H430 will cast them away, H3988 because H3588 they did not hearken H8085 unto him: and they shall be wanderers H5074 among the nations. H1471Footnotes
