Hosea 12:7-11
Legacy Standard Bible
7 A [a]merchant, in whose hands are deceptive (A)balances,
He loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, “Surely I have become (B)rich;
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors they will find in me
(C)No iniquity, which would be sin.”
9 But I have been Yahweh your God since the land of Egypt;
I will make you (D)settle in tents again,
As in the days of the appointed festival.
10 And I have spoken to the (E)prophets,
And I [b]made visions abound,
And by the hand of the prophets I gave (F)parables.
11 Is there wickedness in Gilead?
Surely they are worthless.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
Yes, (G)their altars are like the stone heaps
Beside the furrows of the field.
