Hosea 12:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Jacob ran away to the country of Aram.
    There Israel served Laban to get a wife.
    He took care of sheep to pay for her.
¹³ The prophet Moses brought Israel up from Egypt.
    The Lord used him to take care of them.
¹⁴ But Ephraim’s people have made the Lord very angry.
    Their Lord will hold them accountable for the blood they’ve spilled.
    He’ll pay them back for the shameful things they’ve done.
