Hosea 12:12 - The Message

Are you going to repeat the life of your ancestor Jacob?
   He ran off guilty to Aram,
Then sold his soul to get ahead,
   and made it big through treachery and deceit.
Your real identity is formed through God-sent prophets,
   who led you out of Egypt and served as faithful pastors.
As it is, Ephraim has continually
   and inexcusably insulted God.
Now he has to pay for his life-destroying ways.
   His Master will do to him what he has done.
