Hosea 9:3

Ephraim Faces Punishment

² There will not be enough grain to feed people. There will not be enough wine to go around. ³ They will not remain in the Lord’s land,
But Ephraim will return to Egypt,
And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
⁴ They will not pour wine offerings to Jehovah. Their food will only satisfy their hunger. All who eat it will be defiled. It will not be brought as an offering to Jehovah's Temple.
