Hosea 12:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Gilead is a hotbed of iniquity;
    the people there are worthless.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
    their altars are like piles of stones
    on a plowed field.
¹³ Jacob fled to the country of Aram;
    Israel did service to obtain a wife,
    paying for her by tending sheep.
¹⁴ By a prophet^[a] the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,
    and by a prophet they were protected.
