The distress and captivity of Israel for their sins and idolatry.
9:1 ¶
Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God; thou hast loved gifts upon every threshing-floor. |
|
9:1 ¶
Rejoice°°
not,°
O Israel,°
for°
joy,°
as [other] people:°
for°
thou hast gone a whoring°°
from°°
thy Elohim,°
thou hast loved°°
a reward°
upon°
every°
cornfloor.°° |
9:2
The threshing-floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them. |
|
9:2
The floor°
and the winepress°
shall not°
feed°°
them, and the new wine°
shall fail°°
in her. |
9:3
They dwelt not in the Lord's land: Ephraim dwelt in Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians. |
|
9:3
They shall not°
dwell°°
in Yahweh's°
land;°
but Ephraim°
shall return°°
to Egypt,°
and they shall eat°°
unclean°
[things] in Assyria.° |
9:4
They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord. |
|
9:4
They shall not°
offer°°
wine°
[offerings] to Yahweh,°
neither°
shall they be pleasing°°
unto him: their sacrifices°
[shall be] unto them as the bread°
of mourners;°
all°
that eat°°
thereof shall be polluted:°°
for°
their bread°
for their soul°
shall not°
come°°
into°
the house°
of Yahweh.° |
9:5
What will ye do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord? |
|
9:5
What°
will ye do°°
in the solemn°
day,°
and in the day°
of the feast°
of Yahweh?° |
9:6
Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and Noph{gr.Memphis} shall receive them, and Michmash{gr.Machmas} shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents. |
|
9:6
For,°
lo,°
they are gone°°
because of destruction:°°
Egypt°
shall gather them up,°°
Memphis°
shall bury°°
them: the pleasant°
[places] for their silver,°
nettles°
shall possess°°
them: thorns°
[shall be] in their tabernacles.° |
9:7
The days of vengeance are come, the days of thy recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness has abounded. |
|
9:7
The days°
of visitation°
are come,°°
the days°
of recompence°
are come;°°
Israel°
shall know°°
[it]: the prophet°
[is] a fool,°
the spiritual°
man°
[is] mad,°°
for°
the multitude°
of thine iniquity,°
and the great°
hatred.° |
9:8
The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God. |
|
9:8
The watchman°°
of Ephraim°
[was] with°
my Elohim:°
[but] the prophet°
[is] a snare°
of a fowler°
in°
all°
his ways,°
[and] hatred°
in the house°
of his Elohim.° |
9:9
They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins. |
|
9:9
They have deeply°°
corrupted°°
[themselves], as in the days°
of Gibeah:°
[therefore] he will remember°°
their iniquity,°
he will visit°°
their sins.° |
9:10
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig-tree: they went in to Baal{gr.Beel}-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved. |
|
9:10
I found°°
Israel°
like grapes°
in the wilderness;°
I saw°°
your fathers°
as the firstripe°
in the fig tree°
at her first time:°
[but] they°
went°°
to Baalpeor,°
and separated°°
themselves°
unto [that] shame;°
and [their] abominations°
were°
according as they loved.°° |
9:11
Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception. |
|
9:11
[As for] Ephraim,°
their glory°
shall fly away°°
like a bird,°
from the birth,°°°
and from the womb,°°
and from the conception.°° |
9:12
For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: wherefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them. |
|
9:12
Though°°
they bring up°°°
their children,°
yet will I bereave°°
them, [that there shall] not [be] a man°°
[left]: yea,°
woe°
also°
to them when I depart°°
from°
them! |
9:13
Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yea, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter. |
|
9:13
Ephraim,°
as°
I saw°°
Tyrus,°
[is] planted°°
in a pleasant place:°
but Ephraim°
shall bring forth°°
his children°
to°
the murderer.°° |
9:14
Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. |
|
9:14
Give°°
them, O Yahweh:°
what°
wilt thou give?°°
give°°
them a miscarrying°°
womb°
and dry°°
breasts.° |
9:15
All their wickedness is in Gilgal{gr.Galgal}: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient. |
|
9:15
All°
their wickedness°
[is] in Gilgal:°
for°
there°
I hated°°
them: for°
the wickedness°
of their doings°
I will drive them out°°
of mine house,°°
I will love°°
them no°
more:°°
all°
their princes°
[are] revolters.°° |
9:16
Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: wherefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb. |
|
9:16
Ephraim°
is smitten,°°
their root°
is dried up,°°
they shall bear°°
no°
fruit:°
yea,°
though°
they bring forth,°°
yet will I slay°°
[even] the beloved°
[fruit] of their womb.° |
9:17
God shall reject them, because they have not hearkened to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. |
|
9:17
My Elohim°
will cast them away,°°
because°
they did not°
hearken°°
unto him: and they shall be°
wanderers°°
among the nations.° |
