Hosea 9:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ The Israelites will not give offerings of wine to the Lord;
    they will not give him sacrifices.
Their sacrifices will be like food that is eaten at a funeral;
    it is unclean, and everyone who eats it becomes unclean.
Their food will only satisfy their hunger;
    they cannot sacrifice it in the Temple.
⁵ What will you do then on the day of feasts
    and on the day of the Lord’s festival?
⁶ Even if the people are not destroyed,
    Egypt will capture them;
    Memphis^[a] will bury them.
Weeds will grow over their silver treasures,
    and thorns will drive them out of their tents.
