Hosea 12:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17] said, “I am rich! I ·am someone with power [have made my fortune]!”
·All their money will do them no good
because of the sins they have done [or “With all the wealth I’ve gained, no one can accuse me of sin”; ^Ceither self-vindication (continuing the quotation), or the prophet’s pronouncement of guilt].

⁹“But I am the Lord your God,
    ·who brought you [or ever since you came] out of Egypt.
I will make you live in tents again
    as you used to do on ·worship days [the appointed festivals; ^Cthe feast of tabernacles, which commemorated the wilderness wanderings].
¹⁰I spoke to the prophets
    and gave them many visions;
through them, I ·taught my lessons [spoke in parables; or spoke oracles of doom] to you.”
