Hosea 9:4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

They will not pour out their wine offerings to the  Lord, and their sacrifices will not please him. Their food will be like the bread of mourners; all who eat it become defiled. For their bread will be for their appetites alone; it will not enter the house of the  Lord.
