9“But I am the Lord your God,

who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.

And I will make you live in tents again,

as you do each year at the Festival of Shelters.^e

10I sent my prophets to warn you

with many visions and parables.”

11But the people of Gilead are worthless

because of their idol worship.

And in Gilgal, too, they sacrifice bulls;

their altars are lined up like the heaps of stone

along the edges of a plowed field.

12Jacob fled to the land of Aram,

and there he^f earned a wife by tending sheep.

13Then by a prophet

the Lord brought Jacob’s descendants^g out of Egypt;

and by that prophet

they were protected.

14But the people of Israel

have bitterly provoked the Lord,

so their Lord will now sentence them to death

in payment for their sins.
