Hosea 12:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ If there is iniquity in Gilead
    they shall surely come to nought;
if in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
    their altars also shall be like stone heaps
    on the furrows of the field.
¹² (Jacob fled to the land of Aram,
    there Israel did service for a wife,
    and for a wife he herded sheep.)
¹³ By a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
    and by a prophet he was preserved.
