Hosea 12:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ “I spoke to the prophets and gave them many visions, and through the prophets I gave my people warnings. ¹¹ Yet idols are worshiped in Gilead, and those who worship them will die. Bulls are sacrificed in Gilgal, and the altars there will become piles of stone in the open fields.”

^12 (A)Our ancestor Jacob had to flee to Mesopotamia, where, in order to get a wife, he worked for another man and took care of his sheep.
