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 þ^e 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.
