Hosea 12:7-11
English Standard Version
7 A merchant, in whose hands are (A)false balances,
he loves (B)to oppress.
8 Ephraim has said, “Ah, but (C)I am rich;
I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors (D)they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
9 (E)I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you (F)dwell in tents,
as in the days of the appointed feast.
10 (G)I spoke to the prophets;
it was I who multiplied (H)visions,
and through the prophets gave parables.
11 (I)If there is iniquity in Gilead,
they shall surely come to nothing:
(J)in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
(K)their altars also are like stone heaps
(L)on the furrows of the field.
Hosea 12:7-11
New Living Translation
7 But no, the people are like crafty merchants
selling from dishonest scales—
they love to cheat.
8 Israel boasts, “I am rich!
I’ve made a fortune all by myself!
No one has caught me cheating!
My record is spotless!”
9 “But I am the Lord your God,
who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
And I will make you live in tents again,
as you do each year at the Festival of Shelters.[a]
10 I sent my prophets to warn you
with many visions and parables.”
11 But the people of Gilead are worthless
because of their idol worship.
And in Gilgal, too, they sacrifice bulls;
their altars are lined up like the heaps of stone
along the edges of a plowed field.
