Israel, don’t rejoice.
    Don’t celebrate as other nations do.
        You have been unfaithful to your Elohim.
        You have sold sex on every threshing floor.[a]
There won’t be enough grain to feed people.
    There won’t be enough wine to go around.

The people of Ephraim won’t stay in Yahweh’s land.
    They will return to Egypt,
        and they will eat unclean[b] food in Assyria.
