Do not rejoice, Israel, nor be glad like the peoples, for you played the whore, departing from your God; you loved gifts on every threshing floor of grain.
9:2
ἅλωνκαὶληνὸςοὐκἔγνωαὐτούςκαὶὁοἶνοςἐψεύσατοαὐτούς
禾場和酒醡都不認識他們,新酒也欺騙了他們。
Threshing floor and winepress did not know them, and the wine failed them.
They did not pour out wine to the Lord, and their sacrifices were not pleasing to him; they are to them like the bread of mourning; all who eat them shall be defiled; for their bread is for their own souls, and it shall not enter the house of the Lord.
Therefore, behold, they shall go out of the misery of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them. As for their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns shall be in their tents.
The days of vengeance have come; the days of your recompense have come; and Israel shall be afflicted like the prophet who is deranged, the man who bears the spirit. Because of the multitude of your iniquities your madness has increased.
Like a grape in a wilderness I found Israel, and like an early watchman in a fig tree I saw their fathers. But they went in to Beelphegor and estranged themselves to shame, and the beloved became like the abominated.
All their wickednesses are in Galgal, for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their practices I will drive them out of my house; I will no longer continue to love them; all their rulers are disobedient.
Ephraim was in pain; his roots were dried up; he shall no longer bear fruit. For even if they beget children, I will kill the desired ones of their womb.
