Hosea 12:2-11 - Hosea's Wife And Children
2 And a contention to Jehovah with Judah, and to review Jacob according to his ways; he will turn back to him according to his doings. 3 In the belly he circumvented his brother, and by his strength he was a leader with God. 4 And he will be a leader to the messenger, and he will prevail: he wept, and he will make supplication to him: in the house of God he will find him, and there he will speak with him. 5 And Jehovah God of armies, Jehovah his remembrance. 6 And thou, in thy God thou shalt turn back: watch mercy and judgment, and wait always for thy God.
7 Canaan in his hand, the balances of deceit: he loved to oppress. 8 And Ephraim will say, Surely I became rich, I found to me wealth: all my labors shall not be found to me iniquity which was sin.
9 And I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will even cause thee to dwell in tents as in the days of the appointment 10 And I spake by the prophets, and I multiplied the vision, and by the hand of the prophets I will use similitudes. 11 If Gilead nothing? Surely they were vanity: in Gilgal they sacrificed oxen; also their altars as heaps upon the furrows of the field.
