The threshing floor and the wine press will no longer feed them,
And the new wine will fail them [because they failed to honor the God who provides].

They will not remain in the land of the Lord,
But Ephraim will return to [another] Egypt [in bondage]
And they will eat [ceremonially] unclean food in Assyria.(A)

They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the Lord;
Their sacrifices will not please Him.
Their bread will be like mourners’ bread [eaten at funerals];
All who eat it will be [ceremonially] unclean,
For their bread will be for themselves;
It will not enter the house of the Lord [to be consecrated].

Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;

They will not remain(B) in the Lord’s land;
    Ephraim will return to Egypt(C)
    and eat unclean food in Assyria.(D)
They will not pour out wine offerings(E) to the Lord,
    nor will their sacrifices please(F) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(G)
    all who eat them will be unclean.(H)
This food will be for themselves;
    it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(I)
