Hosea 12:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ The people of Gilead are evil.
They are worthless.
They sacrifice bulls in Gilgal.
But their altars will become like piles of rubble
beside a plowed field.
¹² Jacob fled to the country of Syria.
Israel worked to get a wife; he took care of sheep to pay for her.
¹³ The Lord used a prophet to bring the people of Israel out of Egypt.
He used a prophet to take care of them.
