12 Jacob fled into the land of Aram;[a]
Israel served there to obtain his wife,
tending sheep to gain[b] his wife.
13 “By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,

14 Ephraim has stirred up violent anger;
therefore the guilt of his blood will remain on him,
and his Lord will repay him for his contempt.”
