Hosea 12:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 Your ancestor Jacob fled to Northwest Mesopotamia.
There he worked to get a wife.
He tended sheep to pay for her.
13 Later the Lord used a prophet
to bring Jacob’s descendants out of Egypt.
The Lord used a prophet
to take care of the Israelites.
14 But the Israelites made the Lord angry.
They killed other people.
They deserve to die for their crimes.
The Lord will make them pay
for the disgraceful things they have done.
