Hosea 12:7-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ A trader in whose hands are false balances,
    he loves to oppress.^(A)
8 Ephraim has said, “Ah, I am rich;
    I have gained wealth for myself;
in all of my gain
    no offense has been found in me
    that would be sin.”^[a](B)
9 I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
I will make you live in tents again,
    as in the days of the appointed festival.^(C)

¹⁰ I spoke to the prophets;
    it was I who multiplied visions,
    and through the prophets I will bring destruction.^(D)
11 In^[b] Gilead 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.^(E)
