9:1 Rejoice 8055 8799 not, O Israel 3478, for joy 1524, as [other] people 5971: for thou hast gone a whoring 2181 8804 from thy God 430, thou hast loved 157 8804 a reward 868 upon every cornfloor 1637 1715.(upon: or, in, etc)

9:2 The floor 1637 and the winepress 3342 shall not feed 7462 8799 them, and the new wine 8492 shall fail 3584 8762 in her.(winepress: or, winefat)

9:3 They shall not dwell 3427 8799 in the LORD'S 3068 land 776; but Ephraim 669 shall return 7725 8804 to Egypt 4714, and they shall eat 398 8799 unclean 2931 [things] in Assyria 804.

9:4 They shall not offer 5258 8799 wine 3196 [offerings] to the LORD 3068, neither shall they be pleasing 6149 8799 unto him: their sacrifices 2077 [shall be] unto them as the bread 3899 of mourners 205; all that eat 398 8802 thereof shall be polluted 2930 8691: for their bread 3899 for their soul 5315 shall not come 935 8799 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

9:5 What will ye do 6213 8799 in the solemn 4150 day 3117, and in the day 3117 of the feast 2282 of the LORD 3068?

9:6 For, lo, they are gone 1980 8804 because of destruction 7701: Egypt 4714 shall gather them up 6908 8762, Memphis 4644 shall bury 6912 8762 them: the pleasant 4261 [places] for their silver 3701, nettles 7057 shall possess 3423 8799 them: thorns 2336 [shall be] in their tabernacles 168.(destruction: Heb. spoil)(the…: or, their silver shall be desired, the nettle, etc.: Heb. the desire)

9:7 The days 3117 of visitation 6486 are come 935 8804, the days 3117 of recompence 7966 are come 935 8804; Israel 3478 shall know 3045 8799 [it]: the prophet 5030 [is] a fool 191, the spiritual 7307 man 376 [is] mad 7696 8794, for the multitude 7230 of thine iniquity 5771, and the great 7227 hatred 4895.(spiritual…: Heb. man of the spirit)

9:8 The watchman 6822 8802 of Ephraim 669 [was] with my God 430: [but] the prophet 5030 [is] a snare 6341 of a fowler 3352 in all his ways 1870, [and] hatred 4895 in the house 1004 of his God 430.(in the: or, against the)

9:9 They have deeply 6009 8689 corrupted 7843 8765 [themselves], as in the days 3117 of Gibeah 1390: [therefore] he will remember 2142 8799 their iniquity 5771, he will visit 6485 8799 their sins 2403.

9:10 I found 4672 8804 Israel 3478 like grapes 6025 in the wilderness 4057; I saw 7200 8804 your fathers 1 as the firstripe 1063 in the fig tree 8384 at her first time 7225: [but] they went 935 8804 to Baalpeor 1187, and separated 5144 8735 themselves unto [that] shame 1322; and [their] abominations 8251 were according as they loved 157 8800.

9:11 [As for] Ephraim 669, their glory 3519 shall fly away 5774 8709 like a bird 5775, from the birth 3205 8800, and from the womb 990, and from the conception 2032.

9:12 Though they bring up 1431 8762 their children 1121, yet will I bereave 7921 8765 them, [that there shall] not [be] a man 120 [left]: yea, woe 188 also to them when I depart 5493 8800 from them!

9:13 Ephraim 669, as I saw 7200 8804 Tyrus 6865, [is] planted 8362 8803 in a pleasant place 5116: but Ephraim 669 shall bring forth 3318 8687 his children 1121 to the murderer 2026 8802.

9:14 Give 5414 8798 them, O LORD 3068: what wilt thou give 5414 8799? give 5414 8798 them a miscarrying 7921 8688 womb 7358 and dry 6784 8802 breasts 7699.(miscarrying: Heb. that casteth the fruit)

9:15 All their wickedness 7451 [is] in Gilgal 1537: for there I hated 8130 8804 them: for the wickedness 7455 of their doings 4611 I will drive them out 1644 8762 of mine house 1004, I will love 160 them no more 3254 8686: all their princes 8269 [are] revolters 5637 8802.

9:16 Ephraim 669 is smitten 5221 8717, their root 8328 is dried up 3001 8804, they shall bear 6213 8799 no fruit 6529: yea, though they bring forth 3205 8799, yet will I slay 4191 8689 [even] the beloved 4261 [fruit] of their womb 990.(the…: Heb. the desires)
