Hosea 12:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ If Gilead is given over to idolatry, they shall come to nought and be mere waste; if they [insult God by] sacrificing bullocks in Gilgal [on heathen altars], their altars shall be like heaps in the furrows of the fields.

¹² Jacob fled into the open country of Aram or Padan-aram, and [there] Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.^(A)

¹³ And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was [Israel] preserved.
