Hosea 9:4

Bread of mourners] Instead of being joyous festivals they would be like funeral feasts. For their bread, etc.] RV 'for their bread shall be for their appetite: it shall not come,' etc. A further step in their misery. They would only have enough bread to satisfy the pangs of hunger, and have none left to offer to God. The reference here appears to be to the horrors of a siege.

5. The feast days come, but no one is ready or able to observe them. Their only concern is to escape destruction.
