Hosea 12:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ You are like a trader who uses dishonest scales.
    You love to cheat others.
⁸ People of Ephraim, you brag,
    “We are very rich.
    We’ve become wealthy.
And no one can prove we sinned
    to gain all this wealth.”

“I have been the Lord your God
    ever since you came out of Egypt.
But I will make you live in tents again.
    That is what you did when you celebrated
    the Feast of Booths in the desert.
