Hosea 12:7-11

Common English Bible

⁷ He is a merchant; the means to cheat are in his hands;
        he loves to take advantage of others.
⁸ Ephraim has said,
        “I’m rich,
        I’ve gained wealth for myself;
        in all of my gain
        no offense has been found in me
            that would be sin.”
⁹ I am the Lord your God
        from the land of Egypt;
    I will make you live in tents again,
        as in former days.
¹⁰ I spoke to the prophets;
        and I multiplied visions,
        and through them I uttered parables.
¹¹ In Gilead there is wickedness;
        they will surely come to nothing.
    In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
        so their altars will be like piles of stones
        on the rows of the field.
