Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

The distress and captivity of Israel for their sins and idolatry.

9:1 ¶ Rejoice 8055 z8799 not, x408 O Israel, 3478 for x413 joy, 1524 as [other] people: 5971 for x3588 thou hast gone a whoring 2181 z8804 from x4480 x5921 thy God, 430 thou hast loved 157 z8804 a reward 868 upon x5921 every x3605 cornfloor. 1637 1715

9:2 The floor 1637 and the winepress 3342 shall not x3808 feed 7462 z8799 them, and the new wine 8492 shall fail 3584 z8762 in her.

9:3 They shall not x3808 dwell 3427 z8799 in the LORD'S 3068 land; 776 but Ephraim 669 shall return 7725 z8804 to Egypt, 4714 and they shall eat 398 z8799 unclean 2931 [things] in Assyria. 804

9:4 They shall not x3808 offer 5258 z8799 wine 3196 [offerings] to the LORD, 3068 neither x3808 shall they be pleasing 6149 z8799 unto him: their sacrifices 2077 [shall be] unto them as the bread 3899 of mourners; 205 all x3605 that eat 398 z8802 thereof shall be polluted: 2930 z8691 for x3588 their bread 3899 for their soul 5315 shall not x3808 come y935 z8799 into x935 the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

9:5 What x4100 will ye do 6213 z8799 in the solemn 4150 day, 3117 and in the day 3117 of the feast 2282 of the LORD? 3068

9:6 For, x3588 lo, x2009 they are gone 1980 z8804 because of destruction: 7701 x4480 Egypt 4714 shall gather them up, 6908 z8762 Memphis 4644 shall bury 6912 z8762 them: the pleasant 4261 [places] for their silver, 3701 nettles 7057 shall possess 3423 z8799 them: thorns 2336 [shall be] in their tabernacles. 168

9:7 The days 3117 of visitation 6486 are come, 935 z8804 the days 3117 of recompence 7966 are come; 935 z8804 Israel 3478 shall know 3045 z8799 [it]: the prophet 5030 [is] a fool, 191 the spiritual 7307 man 376 [is] mad, 7696 z8794 for x5921 the multitude 7230 of thine iniquity, 5771 and the great 7227 hatred. 4895

9:8 The watchman 6822 z8802 of Ephraim 669 [was] with x5973 my God: 430 [but] the prophet 5030 [is] a snare 6341 of a fowler 3352 in x5921 all x3605 his ways, 1870 [and] hatred 4895 in the house 1004 of his God. 430

9:9 They have deeply 6009 z8689 corrupted 7843 z8765 [themselves], as in the days 3117 of Gibeah: 1390 [therefore] he will remember 2142 z8799 their iniquity, 5771 he will visit 6485 z8799 their sins. 2403

9:10 I found 4672 z8804 Israel 3478 like grapes 6025 in the wilderness; 4057 I saw 7200 z8804 your fathers 1 as the firstripe 1063 in the fig tree 8384 at her first time: 7225 [but] they x1992 went 935 z8804 to Baalpeor, 1187 and separated y5144 z8735 themselves x5144 unto [that] shame; 1322 and [their] abominations 8251 were x1961 according as they loved. 157 z8800

9:11 [As for] Ephraim, 669 their glory 3519 shall fly away 5774 z8709 like a bird, 5775 from the birth, 3205 z8800 x4480 and from the womb, 990 x4480 and from the conception. 2032 x4480

9:12 Though x3588 x518 they bring up 1431 z8762 x853 their children, 1121 yet will I bereave 7921 z8765 them, [that there shall] not [be] a man 120 x4480 [left]: yea, x3588 woe 188 also x1571 to them when I depart 5493 z8800 from x4480 them!

9:13 Ephraim, 669 as x834 I saw 7200 z8804 Tyrus, 6865 [is] planted 8362 z8803 in a pleasant place: 5116 but Ephraim 669 shall bring forth 3318 z8687 his children 1121 to x413 the murderer. 2026 z8802

9:14 Give 5414 z8798 them, O LORD: 3068 what x4100 wilt thou give? 5414 z8799 give 5414 z8798 them a miscarrying 7921 z8688 womb 7358 and dry 6784 z8802 breasts. 7699

9:15 All x3605 their wickedness 7451 [is] in Gilgal: 1537 for x3588 there x8033 I hated 8130 z8804 them: for x5921 the wickedness 7455 of their doings 4611 I will drive them out 1644 z8762 of mine house, 1004 x4480 I will love y160 x157 them no x3808 more: 3254 z8686 all x3605 their princes 8269 [are] revolters. 5637 z8802

9:16 Ephraim 669 is smitten, 5221 z8717 their root 8328 is dried up, 3001 z8804 they shall bear 6213 z8799 no x1077 fruit: 6529 yea, x1571 though x3588 they bring forth, 3205 z8799 yet will I slay 4191 z8689 [even] the beloved 4261 [fruit] of their womb. 990

9:17 My God 430 will cast them away, 3988 z8799 because x3588 they did not x3808 hearken 8085 z8804 unto him: and they shall be x1961 wanderers 5074 z8802 among the nations. 1471
