12 Jacob fled to the fields of Aram;[a]
    Israel worked for Laban in exchange for a wife;
    to pay the bride-price, he shepherded Laban’s flocks.
13 But the Eternal One led Israel out of Egypt by a prophet;
    Moses, God’s own prophet, kept the people safe.
14 But now Ephraim has made his Lord furious, and this is His judgment:
    God will punish him for the blood he’s shed
    and pay him back for his defiance.
