Hosea 9:6

“Also the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes Have shaved the top of your head.

So now, you should clearly know that you will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to sojourn.

The word that came to Jeremiah for all the Jews living in the land of Egypt, those who were living in Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis, and the land of Pathros, saying,

“Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.

So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without a heart of wisdom; They call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.

They turn, but not upward; They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the indignation of their tongue. This will be their scoffing in the land of Egypt.

As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But Yahweh has not accepted them. Now He will remember their iniquity And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.

Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be eradicated; Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars; Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

“Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar, For all the people of Canaan will be silenced; All who weigh out silver will be cut off.
