The threshing floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

They shall not remain in the land of the LORD; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt and to Assyria where they shall eat unclean food.

Do not rejoice, Israel;
    do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.

    and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
