Hosea 9

³They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land;

⁴They won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD,

⁶For, behold, when they flee destruction,

⁷The days of visitation have come.

⁸A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God.

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves,

¹⁰I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.

¹¹As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.

¹²Though they bring up their children,

¹³I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;

¹⁴Give them—LORD what will you give?

¹⁵“All their wickedness is in Gilgal;

¹⁶Ephraim is struck.

¹⁷My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him;
