NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hosea 9

Ephraim Punished

1

 aDo not rejoiceh8055, O Israelh3478,  1with exultationh1524a like the  2nationsh5971a! For you have  bplayedh2181 the harloth2181,  3forsakingh4480h5921 your Godh430. You have lovedh157 harlots' earningsh868 on  4everyh3605 threshingh1637 floorh1637.

2

Threshingh1637 floorh1637 and wineh3342 pressh3342 will  anot feedh7462a them, And the newh8492 wineh8492 will failh3584  1them.

3

They will not remainh3427 in  athe LORD'Sh3068 landh776, But Ephraimh669 will returnh7725 to  bEgypth4714, And in  cAssyriah804b they will eath398  duncleanh2931 food.

4

They will not pourh5258a out drinkh5258a offeringsh5258a of  awineh3196 to the LORDh3068,  bTheir sacrificesh2077 will not pleaseh6149 Him. Their bread will  1be like  2mourners'h205 breadh3899; Allh3605 who eath398 of it will be  cdefiledh2930, For their breadh3899 will be for  3themselvesh5315 alone; It will not enterh935 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

5

 aWhath4100 will you doh6213a on the dayh3117 of the appointedh4150 festivalh4150 And on the dayh3117 of the  bfeasth2282 of the LORDh3068?

6

For beholdh2009, they will goh1980 becauseh4480 of destructionh7701; Egypth4714 will gatherh6908 them up,  aMemphish4644 will buryh6912 them. Weedsh7057 will takeh3423 overh3423 their treasuresh4261 of silverh3701;  bThornsh2336 will be in their tentsh168.

7

The daysh3117 of  apunishmenth6486 have comeh935, The daysh3117 of  bretributionh7966 have comeh935;  1Let Israelh3478 knowh3045 this! The propheth5030 is a  cfoolh191, The  2inspiredh7307 manh376 is  ddementedh7696, Becauseh5921 of the grossnessh7230 of your  einiquityh5771, And because your hostilityh4895 is so greath7227a.

8

Ephraimh669 was a watchmanh6822 with my Godh430, a propheth5030; Yet the snareh6341a of a birdh3352 catcherh3352 is in allh3605 his waysh1870, And there is only hostilityh4895 in the househ1004 of his Godh430.

9

They have goneh6009  adeeph6009  1in depravityh7843 As in the daysh3117 of  bGibeahh1390; He will  crememberh2142 their iniquityh5771, He will punishh6485 their sinsh2403b.

10

I foundh4672 Israelh3478 like  agrapesh6025 in the wildernessh4057b; I sawh7200 your forefathersh1 as the  bearliesth1063 fruith1063 on the figh8384 treeh8384 in its firsth7225 season. But they cameh935 to  cBaal-peorh1187 and devotedh5144a themselves to  1 dshameh1322, And they becameh1961 as  edetestableh8251 as that whichh159 they lovedh157.

11

As for Ephraimh669, their  agloryh3519b will flyh5774a awayh5774a like a birdh5775-- Noh4480 birthh3205, noh4480 pregnancyh990 and noh4480 conceptionh2032!

12

Thoughh3588h518 they bringh1431 up their childrenh1121, Yet I will bereaveh7921 them  1until not a manh120 is left. Yesh3588,  awoeh188 to them indeedh1571 when I departh5493 from them!

13

Ephraimh669, as I have seenh7200, Is plantedh8362 in a pleasant meadowh5116a like  aTyreh6865; But Ephraimh669 will bringh3318 out his childrenh1121 for slaughterh2026.

14

Giveh5414 them, O LORDh3068--whath4100 will You giveh5414? Giveh5414 them a  amiscarryingh7921 wombh7358 and dryh6784 breastsh7699a.

15

Allh3605 their evilh7463a is at  aGilgalh1537; Indeedh3588, I came to hateh8130 them thereh8033! Becauseh5921 of the  bwickednessh7455 of their deedsh4611 I will driveh1644 them out of My househ1004! I will loveh157 them noh3808 moreh3254; Allh3605 their princesh8269 are  crebelsh5637.

16

 aEphraimh669 is strickenh5221, their rooth8328 is driedh3001 up, They will bearh6213a  bnoh1097 fruith6529. Evenh1571 thoughh3588 they bearh3205 children, I will slayh4191 the  cprecioush4261 onesh4261 of their wombh990.

17

My Godh430 will casth3988a them awayh3988a Becauseh3588 they have  anot listenedh8085 to Him; And they will be  bwanderersh5074 among the nationsh1471.
