Hosea 9 (WEBP)

[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.

Hosea 9 (BYZ)

[1] μη χαιρε ισραηλ μηδε ευφραινου καθως οι λαοι διοτι επορνευσας απο του θεου σου ηγαπησας δοματα επι παντα αλωνα σιτου
[2] αλων και ληνος ουκ εγνω αυτους και ο οινος εψευσατο αυτους
[3] ου κατωκησαν εν τη γη του κυριου κατωκησεν εφραιμ εις αιγυπτον και εν ασσυριοις ακαθαρτα φαγονται
[4] ουκ εσπεισαν τω κυριω οινον και ουχ ηδυναν αυτω αι θυσιαι αυτων ως αρτος πενθους αυτοις παντες οι εσθοντες αυτα μιανθησονται διοτι οι αρτοι αυτων ταις ψυχαις αυτων ουκ εισελευσονται εις τον οικον κυριου
[5] τι ποιησετε εν ημερα πανηγυρεως και εν ημερα εορτης του κυριου
[6] δια τουτο ιδου πορευσονται εκ ταλαιπωριας αιγυπτου και εκδεξεται αυτους μεμφις και θαψει αυτους μαχμας το αργυριον αυτων ολεθρος κληρονομησει ακανθαι εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτων
[7] ηκασιν αι ημεραι της εκδικησεως ηκασιν αι ημεραι της ανταποδοσεως σου και κακωθησεται ισραηλ ωσπερ ο προφητης ο παρεξεστηκως ανθρωπος ο πνευματοφορος υπο του πληθους των αδικιων σου επληθυνθη μανια σου
[8] σκοπος εφραιμ μετα θεου προφητης παγις σκολια επι πασας τας οδους αυτου μανιαν εν οικω κυριου κατεπηξαν
[9] εφθαρησαν κατα τας ημερας του βουνου μνησθησεται αδικιας αυτου εκδικησει αμαρτιας αυτου
[10] ως σταφυλην εν ερημω ευρον τον ισραηλ και ως σκοπον εν συκη προιμον ειδον πατερας αυτων αυτοι εισηλθον προς τον βεελφεγωρ και απηλλοτριωθησαν εις αισχυνην και εγενοντο οι ηγαπημενοι ως οι εβδελυγμενοι
[11] εφραιμ ως ορνεον εξεπετασθη αι δοξαι αυτων εκ τοκων και ωδινων και συλλημψεων
[12] διοτι και εαν εκθρεψωσιν τα τεκνα αυτων ατεκνωθησονται εξ ανθρωπων διοτι και ουαι αυτοις εστιν σαρξ μου εξ αυτων
[13] εφραιμ ον τροπον ειδον εις θηραν παρεστησαν τα τεκνα αυτων και εφραιμ του εξαγαγειν εις αποκεντησιν τα τεκνα αυτου
[14] δος αυτοις κυριε τι δωσεις αυτοις δος αυτοις μητραν ατεκνουσαν και μαστους ξηρους
[15] πασαι αι κακιαι αυτων εις γαλγαλ οτι εκει αυτους εμισησα δια τας κακιας των επιτηδευματων αυτων εκ του οικου μου εκβαλω αυτους ου μη προσθησω του αγαπησαι αυτους παντες οι αρχοντες αυτων απειθουντες
[16] επονεσεν εφραιμ τας ριζας αυτου εξηρανθη καρπον ουκετι μη ενεγκη διοτι και εαν γεννησωσιν αποκτενω τα επιθυμηματα κοιλιας αυτων
[17] απωσεται αυτους ο θεος οτι ουκ εισηκουσαν αυτου και εσονται πλανηται εν τοις εθνεσιν
