Hosea 12:5-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. even יהוה Elohim of hosts, יהוה is His remembrance.

6. Therefore, return to your Elohim. Guard kindness and right-ruling, and wait on your Elohim continually.

7. A merchant! In his hand are scales of deceit, he loved to oppress.

8. And Ephrayim says, “Indeed, I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself. In all my labours they shall find in me no crookedness that is sin.”

9. “But I am יהוה your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, again I shall make you dwell in tents as in the days of the appointed time.

10. “And I have spoken to the prophets, and have increased visions. And through the prophets I gave parables.”

11. Is Gil‛aḏ wicked? Certainly, they have been false! In Gilgal they have offered bulls. Also their altars are as heaps on a ploughed field.

12. And when Ya‛aqoḇ fled to the country of Aram, Yisra’ĕl served for a wife, and for a wife he kept watch.

13. And by a prophet יהוה brought Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, and by a prophet he was watched over.
