Hosea 12:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ The people of Gilead are evil!
    They aren’t worth anything!
Gilgal’s people sacrifice bulls to other gods.
    Their altars will become like piles of stones
    on a plowed field.
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.
