Osée 9.11
English standard version

¹ Rejoice not, O Israel!
Exult not like the peoples;
for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.
You have loved a prostitute's wages
on all threshing floors.
² Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,
and the new wine shall fail them.
³ They shall not remain in the land of the Lord,
but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
⁴ They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
and their sacrifices shall not please him.
It shall be like mourners' bread to them;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
it shall not come to the house of the Lord.
⁵ What will you do on the day of the appointed festival,
and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
⁶ For behold, they are going away from destruction;
but Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;
thorns shall be in their tents.
⁷ The days of punishment have come;
the days of recompense have come;
Israel shall know it.
The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad,
because of your great iniquity
and great hatred.
⁸ The prophet is the watchman of Ephraim with my God;
yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.
⁹ They have deeply corrupted themselves
as in the days of Gibeah:
he will remember their iniquity;
he will punish their sins.

Passé et avenir d’Israël

¹⁰ Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But they came to Baal-peor
and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and became detestable like the thing they loved.
¹¹ Ephraim's glory shall fly away like a bird&emdash;
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
¹² Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
Woe to them
when I depart from them!
¹³ Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow;
but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.
¹⁴ Give them, O Lord&emdash;
what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
¹⁵ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all their princes are rebels.
¹⁶ Ephraim is stricken;
their root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even though they give birth,
I will put their beloved children to death.
¹⁷ My God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
they shall be wanderers among the nations.
