Hosea 12:7-11
New American Standard Bible
7 A [a]merchant, in whose hands are fraudulent (A)balances,
Loves to exploit.
8 And Ephraim said, “I have certainly become (B)rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors they will find in me
(C)No wrongdoing, which would be sin.”
9 But I have been the Lord your God since the land of Egypt;
I will make you (D)live in tents again,
As in the days of the appointed festival.
10 I have also spoken to the (E)prophets,
And I [b]provided many visions,
And through the prophets I spoke in (F)parables.
11 Is there injustice in Gilead?
Certainly they are worthless.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
Yes, (G)their altars are like stone heaps
Beside the furrows of a field.
