as harvesters rejoice;

as warriors celebrate when they divide up the plunder.

16:10 Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards,

and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts;

no one treads out juice in the wine vats –

I have brought the joyful shouts to an end.

Hosea 9:1-2

Fertility Cult Festivals Have Intoxicated Israel

9:1 O Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly like the nations,

for you are unfaithful to your God.

You love to receive a prostitute's wages

on all the floors where you thresh your grain.

9:2 Threshing floors and wine vats will not feed the people,

and new wine only deceives them.
