3 They will not stay in the land of the Lord.

Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt,ag

and they will eat unclean foodah in Assyria.ai

4 They will not pour out

their wine offerings to the Lord,aj

and their sacrifices will not please him.

Their food will be like the bread of mourners;

all who eat it become defiled.ak

For their bread will be for their appetites alone;

it will not enter the house of the Lord.
