Hosea 12:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The people of Gilead are evil.
    They are worth nothing.
People sacrifice bulls at Gilgal.
    But their altars will become like
    piles of stone in a plowed field.
¹² Your ancestor Jacob fled to Northwest Mesopotamia.
    There he worked to get a wife.
    He tended sheep to pay for her.
¹³ Later the Lord used a prophet
    to bring Jacob’s descendants out of Egypt.
The Lord used a prophet
    to take care of the Israelites.
