CAP. IX.
1 Yrael, nyl thou glade, nyl thou ioye
with outforth as peplis; for thou hast do
fornicacioun fro thi God. Thou louedist
hijris on alle feeldis of whete.
2 Feeld
and pressour shal not feede hem, and
wijne shal lye to hem.
3 Thei shuln not
dwelle in the lond of the Lord. Effraym
turnyde a&yogh;ein in to Egypt, and in Assiriens
eete defoulid thing.
4 Thei shuln
not sacrifice wijn to the Lord, and thei
shuln not plese to hym. The sacrifices of
hem as breede of mournynge men; alle
that eten it shuln be defoulid. For the
breed of hem, of the soule of hem, shal
not entre in to the hous of the Lord.
5 What shuln &yogh;e do in the solempne day,
in day of the fest of the Lord?
6 Loo!
sothely thei ben gon fro wastnesse.
Egypt shal gedere hem, Memphis shal
birie hem. A nettil shal enherit the desirable
syluer of hem, a cloote in the
tabernaclis of hem.
7 Days of visityng
camen, days of &yogh;eldyng camen. Yrael,
wite thou thee a fool, a wood prophete,
a spirituel man, for the multitude of thi
wickidnesse, and multitude of madnesse.
8 A spier of Effraym with my God; the
prophete is maad a gnare of fallynge, on
alle the wayes of hym, wodenesse in the
-- --
hous of his God.
9 Thei synneden depely,
as in days of Gabaa. He shal recorde her
wickidnesse, and shal visite the synnys
of hem.
10 Y foonde Yrael as grapes in desert,
as the first applis of a litil fyge tree.
In the hee&yogh;t therof Y see&yogh; the faders of
hem; forsothe thei entriden to Belphagor,
and ben alienyd aweye in to confusioun,
and ben maad abomynable as tho thingus
that thei loueden.
11 Effraym as a brid
flee&yogh; awey; the glorie of hem of chijld
beryng, and of wombe, and of conceyuynge.
12 That and &yogh;if thei shuln nurishe
out her sonys, Y shal make hem with
out free childre in men. Bot and wo to
hem, whanne I shal go awey fro hem.
13 Effraym, as I sy&yogh; Tyrus, was foundid in
fairnesse; Effraym schal leede out his
sones to the slear.
14 Lord, &yogh;yue thou to
hem; what schalt thou &yogh;yue to hem? &yogh;eue
thou to hem a &yogh;ate of wombe with oute
free children, and drie tetis.
15 Al wickidnesse
of hem in Galgal, for there Y hadde
hem hateful; for the malice of her wickidnesse
Y shal caste hem out of myn hous.
Y shal not putte to, that Y loue hem.
16 Alle princis of hem goynge awey; Effraym
is smyten, the root of hem is dried
vp; thei shuln not make fruyte. That and
&yogh;if thei shuln gendre, Y shal slea the
most loued thingus of the wombe of hem.
17 The Lord my God shal caste hem awey,
for thei herden not hym; and thei shuln
be wagringe in naciouns.
