Hosea 12:10-14

New International Version

¹⁰ I spoke to the prophets,
    gave them many visions
    and told parables^(A) through them.”^(B)

¹¹ Is Gilead wicked?^(C)
    Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?^(D)
    Their altars will be like piles of stones
    on a plowed field.^(E)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram^[a];^(F)
    Israel served to get a wife,
    and to pay for her he tended sheep.^(G)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,^(H)
    by a prophet he cared for him.^(I)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
    his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed^(J)
    and will repay him for his contempt.^(K)
