CHAP. IX.

The distresse and captiuitie of Israel, for their sinnes and idolatrie.

1Reioyce not, O Israel, for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loued a reward vpon euery corne floore.1

2The floore and the winepresse shall not feede them, and the new wine shall faile in her.2

3They shal not dwel in þe Lords land: but Ephraim shall returne to Egypt, and they shall eat vncleane things in Assyria.

4They shall not offer wine offrings to the Lord: neither shall they be pleasing vnto him: their sacrifices shalbe vnto them as the bread of mourners: all that eate thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soule shall not come into the house of the Lord.

5What will yee doe in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord ?

6For loe they are gone, because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them vp, Memphis shall burie them: the pleasant places for their siluer, netles shal possesse them: thornes shall be in their Tabernacles.6

7The dayes of visitation are come, the dayes of recompence are come, Israel shall know it; the Prophet is a foole, the spirituall man is madde, for the multitude of thine iniquitie and the great hatred.7

8The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the Prophet is a snare of a fouler in all his wayes, and hatred in the house of his God.8

9They haue deeply corrupted themselues as in the dayes of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.9

10I found Israel like grapes in the wildernesse: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according as they loued.10

11As for Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.

12Though they bring vp their children, yet wil I bereaue them that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them.

13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring foorth his children to the murderer.

14Giue them, O Lord: what wilt thou giue? giue them a miscarying wombe, and drie breasts.14

15All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickednesse of their doings I will driue them out of mine house, I will loue them no more: all their princes are reuolters.15

16Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp, they shall beare no fruite: yea though they bring foorth, yet wil I slay euen the beloued fruite of their wombe.16

17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken vnto him: and they shalbe wanderers among the nations.
