Hosea 9:5

"What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?"

This continues the emphasis upon the fact that all religious communion with God would cease during their exile. Having grossly abused their past religious privileges, Israel was soon to lose them all. The double tragedy in this was, that with the practice of religion cut off, the very knowledge of God, in any sense, would be eroded; and without that, their identity as a people would disappear. That, of course, is exactly what happened to the northern kingdom.
