1Rejoice not, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for joy, as [other] people: for youⁱ have gone a whoring from yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], youⁱ have loved a reward upon every corn floor.

2The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the New Wine shall fail in her.

3They shall not dwell in the LORD-Yehovah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] land; but Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall return to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and they shall eat unclean [things] in Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).

4They shall not offer wine [offerings] to the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices [shall be] unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

5What will you^2f do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)?

6For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.

7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of youⁱ iniquity, and the great hatred.

8The watchman of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] [was] with my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

9They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Giv’ah [Hill]: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

10I found Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went to Ba’al-P’or [Lord of the Opening], and separated themselves unto [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.

11[As for] Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!

13Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], as I saw Tzor (Tyrus) [a rock], [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

14Give them, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): what will youⁱ give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling]: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.

16Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.

17My God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
