Hosea 12:10–14

[10] I spoke to the prophets;

it was I who multiplied visions,

and through the prophets gave parables.

[11] If there is iniquity in Gilead,

they shall surely come to nothing:

in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;

their altars also are like stone heaps

on the furrows of the field.

[12] Jacob fled to the land of Aram;

there Israel served for a wife,

and for a wife he guarded sheep.

[13] By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up from Egypt,

and by a prophet he was guarded.

[14] Ephraim has given bitter provocation;

so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt on him

and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
