Context Readings

Ephraim Faces Punishment

1 O Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly like the nations, for you are unfaithful to your God. You love to receive a prostitute's wages on all the floors where you thresh your grain. 2 Threshing floors and wine vats will not feed the people, and new wine only deceives them. 3 They will not remain in the Lord's land. Ephraim will return to Egypt; they will eat ritually unclean food in Assyria.
