Hosea 12:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ In Gilead^[a] there is iniquity,
    they shall surely come to nothing.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
    so their altars shall be 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.^[b]
13 By a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
    and by a prophet he was guarded.
