So now your harvests will be too small to feed you.
    There will be no grapes for making new wine.
You may no longer stay here in the Lord’s land.
    Instead, you will return to Egypt,
and in Assyria you will eat food
    that is ceremonially unclean.
There you will make no offerings of wine to the Lord.
    None of your sacrifices there will please him.
They will be unclean, like food touched by a person in mourning.
    All who present such sacrifices will be defiled.
They may eat this food themselves,
    but they may not offer it to the Lord.

    Ephraim will return to Egypt(C)
    and eat unclean food in Assyria.(D)
They will not pour out wine offerings(E) to the Lord,
    nor will their sacrifices please(F) him.

    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)
