Oséias 12
Nova Versão Transformadora
12 [a] O povo de Israel[b] se alimenta de vento;
corre atrás do vento leste o dia todo.
Acumula mentiras e violência,
faz acordos com a Assíria
e, ao mesmo tempo, envia azeite
para comprar o apoio do Egito.
2 Agora o Senhor apresenta acusações contra Judá;
está prestes a castigar Jacó[c] por sua conduta enganosa,
e lhe retribuir por tudo que fez.
3 Ainda no ventre, Jacó agarrou
o calcanhar de seu irmão;
quando se tornou homem,
lutou com Deus.
4 Sim, lutou com o anjo e venceu;
chorou e suplicou-lhe que o abençoasse.
Ali em Betel, encontrou Deus,
e Deus falou com ele.[d]
5 O Senhor Deus dos Exércitos,
o Senhor é seu nome!
6 Portanto, voltem para seu Deus;
pratiquem o amor e a justiça
e confiem sempre nele.
7 O povo, no entanto, se comporta como comerciantes astutos,
que usam balanças desonestas e gostam de explorar.
8 Israel diz: “Fiquei rico!
Fiz fortuna com meu próprio esforço!
Ninguém descobriu que enganei outros;
meu histórico é impecável!”.
9 “Mas eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus,
que os tirou do Egito.
Eu os farei morar em tendas outra vez,
como fazem em feriados sagrados.
10 Enviei meus profetas para adverti-los
com muitas visões e parábolas.”
11 Mas os habitantes de Gileade não valem nada,
por causa de seu pecado.
Em Gilgal também sacrificam bois;
seus altares são enfileirados como montes de pedras
à beira de um campo arado.
12 Jacó fugiu para a terra de Arã
e ali cuidou[e] de ovelhas para obter uma esposa.
13 Então, por meio de um profeta,
o Senhor tirou do Egito os descendentes de Jacó;[f]
e, por meio de um profeta,
eles foram protegidos.
14 Mas o povo de Israel
provocou o Senhor amargamente.
Agora ele os sentenciará à morte
como pagamento por seus pecados.

Hosea 12
New International Version
Hosea 12
New International Version
12 [a]1 Ephraim(A) feeds on the wind;(B)
he pursues the east wind all day
and multiplies lies and violence.(C)
He makes a treaty with Assyria(D)
and sends olive oil to Egypt.(E)
2 The Lord has a charge(F) to bring against Judah;(G)
he will punish(H) Jacob[b] according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(I)
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;(J)
as a man he struggled(K) with God.
4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favor.
He found him at Bethel(L)
and talked with him there—
5 the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is his name!(M)
6 But you must return(N) to your God;
maintain love and justice,(O)
and wait for your God always.(P)
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales(Q)
and loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,(R)
“I am very rich; I have become wealthy.(S)
With all my wealth they will not find in me
any iniquity or sin.”
9 “I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt;(T)
I will make you live in tents(U) again,
as in the days of your appointed festivals.
10 I spoke to the prophets,
gave them many visions
and told parables(V) through them.”(W)
11 Is Gilead wicked?(X)
Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?(Y)
Their altars will be like piles of stones
on a plowed field.(Z)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram[c];(AA)
Israel served to get a wife,
and to pay for her he tended sheep.(AB)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,(AC)
by a prophet he cared for him.(AD)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed(AE)
and will repay him for his contempt.(AF)

King James Version
Hosea 12
King James Version
12 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
5 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
