Hosea 9:1 in context

  1. 1Don’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. 2The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them,
    and the new wine will fail her.
  3. 3They won’t dwell in Yahweh’s land;
    but Ephraim will return to Egypt,
    and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
