Hosea 12:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ But the people in Gilead have sinned. There are many terrible idols in that place. They offer sacrifices to bulls at Gilgal. They have many altars. There are rows and rows of altars—like the rows of dirt in a plowed field.

¹² “Jacob ran away to the land of Aram. There Israel worked for a wife. He kept sheep to get another wife. ¹³ But the Lord used a prophet and brought Israel out of Egypt. He used a prophet and kept Israel safe.
