They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 9 of Hosea. Hosea commands Israel not to celebrate like other peoples because unfaithfulness has contaminated their relationship with God. Feasts and harvests, which should express gratitude, lose their meaning when the people live in rebellion. Exile will bring scarcity and ritual contamination. Agricultural prosperity cannot indefinitely be separated from faithfulness to the God who grants it.

wo sie dem HERRN kein Trankopfer vom Wein noch etwas zu Gefallen tun können. Ihr Opfer soll sein wie der Betrübten Brot, an welchem unrein werden alle, die davon essen; denn ihr Brot müssen sie für sich selbst essen, und es soll nicht in des HERRN Haus gebracht werden.
No derramarán vino a Jehová, ni él tomará contento en sus sacrificios; como pan de enlutados le serán a ellos: todos los que comieren de él, serán inmundos. Será pues el pan de ellos para si mismos; no entrará en la casa de Jehová.
No derramarán vino como ofrenda a Jehová ni le serán gratos sus sacrificios. Les serán como pan de enlutados: todos los que lo coman se contaminarán. Su pan será solo para ellos; no entrará en la casa de Jehová.
Ils ne feront pas à l'Eternel des libations de vin: Elles ne lui seraient point agréables. Leurs sacrifices seront pour eux comme un pain de deuil; Tous ceux qui en mangeront se rendront impurs; Car leur pain ne sera que pour eux, Il n'entrera point dans la maison de l'Eternel.
Le loro offerte da spandere di vino non son fatte da loro al Signore; e i lor sacrificii non gli son grati; sono loro come cibo di cordoglio; chiunque ne mangia si contamina; perciocchè il lor cibo è per le lor persone, esso non entrerà nella casa del Signore.
Não derramarão libações de vinho ao SENHOR, nem lhe agradarão as suas ofertas. Os seus sacrifícios lhes serão como pão de pranteadores; todos os que dele comerem serão imundos, porque o seu pão será somente para si mesmos; não entrará na casa do SENHOR.
他們必不得向耶和華獻澆酒祭, 所獻的祭也不蒙悅納。 他們的祭物如居喪者的食物, 凡吃的必使自己玷污; 因為他們的食物只為自己的口腹, 必不得入耶和華的殿。
