Read in context

Hosea 9:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.

2 The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.

3 They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
