Hosea 9:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
Hosea 9:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 But the grain from those threshing floors will not provide enough food for Israel. There will not be enough wine for Israel.
3 The Israelites will not stay in the Lord’s land. Ephraim will return to Egypt. In Assyria they will eat food that they should not eat. 4 They will not be able to give offerings of wine to the Lord. None of their sacrifices will please him. What they offer will be like food eaten at a funeral—whoever eats it will become unclean. They can eat that food for their own hunger, but it cannot be taken into the Lord’s Temple.

Hosea 9:2-4
New International Version
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(A) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(B) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(C)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(D)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(E) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(F) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(G)
all who eat them will be unclean.(H)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(I)
