Hosea 9:3 Context
1Reioyce not, O Israel, for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loued a reward vpon euery corne floore. 2The floore and the winepresse shall not feede them, and the new wine shall faile in her. 3They shal not dwel in þe Lords land: but Ephraim shall returne to Egypt, and they shall eat vncleane things in Assyria. 4They shall not offer wine offrings to the Lord: neither shall they be pleasing vnto him: their sacrifices shalbe vnto them as the bread of mourners: all that eate thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soule shall not come into the house of the Lord. 5What will yee doe in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord ?
