Hosea 9:4

New American Bible - revised edition

They will not pour libations of wine to the Lord, and their sacrifices will not please him. Their bread will be like mourners’ bread, that makes unclean all who eat of it; Their food will be for their own appetites; it cannot enter the house of the Lord.
