Hosea 9:2-4
Living Bible
2 Therefore your harvests will be small; your grapes will blight upon the vine.
3 You may no longer stay here in this land of God; you will be carried off to Egypt and Assyria and live there on scraps of food. 4 There, far from home, you are not allowed to pour out wine for sacrifice to God. For no sacrifice that is offered there can please him; it is polluted, just as food of mourners is; all who eat such sacrifices are defiled. They may eat this food to feed themselves, but may not offer it to God.

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)
