Hosea 12:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible

9 God says,

‘Remember that I am the Lord your God!
I brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves.
Now I will make you live in tents again,
as you did before, in the wilderness.
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.’
