New King James Version

Hosea 12:5-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. That is, the Lord God of hosts.The Lord is His memorable name.

6. So you, by the help of your God, return;Observe mercy and justice,And wait on your God continually.

7. “A cunning Canaanite!Deceitful scales are in his hand;He loves to oppress.

8. And Ephraim said,‘Surely I have become rich,I have found wealth for myself;In all my laborsThey shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’

9. “But I am the Lord your God,Ever since the land of Egypt;I will again make you dwell in tents,As in the days of the appointed feast.

10. I have also spoken by the prophets,And have multiplied visions;I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets.”
