Their leaders will fall by the sword
because their prayers to Baal
So people will disdain them in the land of Egypt.
8:13 They offer up sacrificial gifts to me,
and eat the meat,
but the Lord does not accept their sacrifices.
Soon he will remember their wrongdoing,
he will punish their sins,
and they will return to Egypt.
9:3 They will not remain in the Lord’s land.
Ephraim will return to Egypt;
they will eat ritually unclean food in Assyria.
9:6 Look!
Egypt will take hold
and Memphis will bury them.
The weeds will inherit the silver they treasure
thorn bushes will occupy their homes.
