Hosea 12:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible

10 I gave my messages to the prophets.
I showed them many visions.[a]
I used stories for the prophets to teach the people about me.
11 The people in Gilead do wicked things.[b]
They will become as useless as their idols.
At Gilgal, the people offer bulls as sacrifices on their altars.
Those altars will be like heaps of stones in a farmer's field.’

12 Jacob ran away to the land of Aram.[c]
He worked there as a shepherd so that he could get a wife.
