a‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
Ever since the land of Egypt;
aI will again make you dwell in tents,
As in the days of the appointed feast.
And have multiplied visions;
I have given1 symbols through the witness of the prophets.”
Surely they are1 vanity—
Though they sacrifice bulls in bGilgal,
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.
Therefore his Lord will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him,
bAnd return his reproach upon him.
| << Hosea 12:9 | Hosea 12:11 >> |
