Hosea 12:7-14

7A merchantH3667 lovesH157 to defraudH6231 with dishonestH4820 scalesH3976 in his handsH3027.8And EphraimH669 boastsH559H389: “How rich I have becomeH6238! I have foundH4672 wealthH202 for myself. In allH3605 my laborsH3018, they can findH4672 in me noH3808 iniquityH5771 thatH834 is sinfulH2399.”

9But IH595 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430ever since the landH776 of EgyptH4714.I will again make you dwellH3427H5750 in tentsH168,as in the daysH3117 of the appointed feastH4150.10I spokeH1696 throughH5921 the prophetsH5030andH595 multipliedH7235 their visionsH2377;I gave parablesH1819 throughH3027 the prophetsH5030.11Is thereH518 iniquityH205 in GileadH1568?They will surelyH389 comeH1961 to nothingH7723.Do they sacrificeH2076 bullsH7794 in GilgalH1537?IndeedH1571, their altarsH4196 will be heaps of stonesH1530inH5921 the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704.
12JacobH3290 fledH1272 to the landH7704 of AramH7581and IsraelH3478 workedH5647 for a wifeH802—for a wifeH802 he tendedH8104 sheep.13But by a prophetH5030 the LORDH3068 broughtH5927 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714,and by a prophetH5030 he was preservedH8104.
14EphraimH669 has provoked bitterH8563 angerH3707,so his LordH113 will leaveH5203 his bloodguiltH1818 upon himH5921and repayH7725 him for his contemptH2781.
