Hosea 9:2
“The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.”
Verse in context — Hosea 9
1
Don't rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
2
The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
3
They won't dwell in Yahweh's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
4
They won't pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.
