Hosea 12:7-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 A merchant loves to extort(A)
with dishonest scales in his hands.(B)
8 But Ephraim says:
“How rich I have become;(C)
I made it all myself.
In all my earnings,
no one can find any crime in me(D)
that I can be punished for!”[a]
Judgment on Apostate Israel
9 I have been Yahweh your God
ever since[b] the land of Egypt.(E)
I will make you live in tents again,(F)
as in the festival days.
10 I spoke through the prophets(G)
and granted many visions;
I gave parables through the prophets.(H)
11 Since Gilead is full of evil,(I)
they will certainly come to nothing.
They sacrifice bulls in Gilgal;(J)
even their altars will be like heaps of rocks(K)
on the furrows of a field.

International Standard Version
7 “Now as for the merchant,[a]
deceitful balances remain in his hand,
and he loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim claims,
‘I have become rich,
I have made a fortune!
Because of all my wealth,
no one will find any iniquity or sin in me.’
9 “Yet I remain the Lord your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
I will make you live in tents again,
as in the festival of that name.[b]
10 I spoke to the prophets,
giving revelation after revelation,
and employing parables in the prophetic writings.[c]
11 “There’s iniquity in Gilead, isn’t there?
They have become truly vain.
They sacrifice bulls in Gilgal;
their altars are like piles of stone in furrowed fields.
