Hosea 12:7-9

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]
