Hosea 12:11-14

11Is there idolatry in Gilead? Certainly its inhabitants will come to nothing! Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Surely their altars will be like stones heaped up on a plowed field!

12Jacob fled to the country of Aram, then Israel worked to acquire a wife; he tended sheep to pay for her.

13The Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and due to a prophet Israel was preserved alive.

14But Ephraim bitterly provoked him to anger; so he will hold him accountable for the blood he has shed, his Lord will repay him for the contempt he has shown.
