For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

Verse 6 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.

Siehe, sie müssen weg vor dem Verstörer. Ägypten wird sie sammeln, und Moph wird sie begraben. Nesseln werden wachsen, da jetzt ihr liebes Götzensilber steht, und Dornen in ihren Hütten.
Porque, he aquí se fueron ellos a causa de la destrucción: Egipto los recogerá, Memphis los enterrará: espino poseerá por heredad lo deseable de su plata, ortiga crecerá en sus moradas.
Miren, se han ido a causa de la destrucción; Egipto los recogerá, Menfis los sepultará. Las ortigas se apoderarán de sus tesoros de plata, y los espinos crecerán en sus tiendas.
Car voici, ils partent à cause de la dévastation; L'Egypte les recueillera, Moph leur donnera des sépulcres; Ce qu'ils ont de précieux, leur argent, sera la proie des ronces, Et les épines croîtront dans leurs tentes.
Conciossiachè, ecco, se ne sieno andati via, per lo guasto; Egitto li accoglierà, Mof li seppellirà; le ortiche erederanno i luoghi di diletto, comperati da’ lor danari; le spine cresceranno ne’ lor tabernacoli
Porque, eis que eles se foram por causa da destruição, mas o Egito os recolherá, Mênfis os sepultará; o desejável da sua prata as urtigas o possuirão por herança, espinhos crescerão nas suas tendas.
看哪,他們要逃避災難; 埃及 人要收殮他們, 摩弗 人要埋葬他們。 蒺藜盤踞他們貴重的銀器, 荊棘必佔據他們的帳棚。
