Hosea Announces Punishment for Israel

9People of Israel, stop celebrating your festivals like pagans. You have turned away from your God and have been unfaithful to him. All over the land you have sold yourselves like prostitutes to the god Baal and have loved the corn you thought he paid you with! 2But soon you will not have enough corn and olive oil, and there will be no wine.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Rejoice not, O Israel!

Exult not like the peoples;

for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.

You have loved a prostitute’s wages

on all threshing floors.

Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,

and the new wine shall fail them.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Do not rejoice, Israel;

do not be jubilant like the other nations.

For you have been unfaithful to your God;

you love the wages of a prostitute

at every threshing floor.

Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;

the new wine will fail them.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly as the nations do,

for you have acted promiscuously, leaving your God.

You love the wages of a prostitute

on every grain-threshing floor.

Threshing floor and wine vat will not sustain them,

and the new wine will fail them.

NLTNew Living Translation

O people of Israel,

do not rejoice as other nations do.

For you have been unfaithful to your God,

hiring yourselves out like prostitutes,

worshiping other gods on every threshing floor.

So now your harvests will be too small to feed you.

There will be no grapes for making new wine.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Do not rejoice, O Israel,

do not exult like the nations!

For you played the whore, departing from your God;

you loved a harlot’s wage

on all the threshing floors of grain.

Threshing floor and wine vat will not feed them,

and new wine will fail her.

KJV 1900King James Version

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people:

For thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,

Thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

The floor and the winepress shall not feed them,

And the new wine shall fail in her.
