Hosea 12:11-13:3
New International Version
11 Is Gilead wicked?(A)
Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?(B)
Their altars will be like piles of stones
on a plowed field.(C)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram[a];(D)
Israel served to get a wife,
and to pay for her he tended sheep.(E)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,(F)
by a prophet he cared for him.(G)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed(H)
and will repay him for his contempt.(I)
The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
13 When Ephraim spoke, people trembled;(J)
he was exalted(K) in Israel.
But he became guilty of Baal worship(L) and died.
2 Now they sin more and more;
they make(M) idols for themselves from their silver,(N)
cleverly fashioned images,
all of them the work of craftsmen.(O)
It is said of these people,
“They offer human sacrifices!
They kiss[b](P) calf-idols!(Q)”
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears,(R)
like chaff(S) swirling from a threshing floor,(T)
like smoke(U) escaping through a window.
