Hosea 12:12-14
New Living Translation
12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram,
and there he[a] earned a wife by tending sheep.
13 Then by a prophet
the Lord brought Jacob’s descendants[b] out of Egypt;
and by that prophet
they were protected.
14 But the people of Israel
have bitterly provoked the Lord,
so their Lord will now sentence them to death
in payment for their sins.
Hosea 12:12-14
International Standard Version
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,
and by a prophet he[c] was rescued.
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.”
