Context
The Lord Refutes Israel’s False Claim of Innocence
12:7 The businessmen love to cheat ; they use dishonest scales .
12:8 Ephraim boasts , “I am very rich ! I have become wealthy ! In all that I have done to gain my wealth, no one can accuse me of any offense that is actually sinful .”
12:9 “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt ; I will make you live in tents again as in the days of old .
12:10 I spoke to the prophets ; I myself revealed many visions ; I spoke in parables through the prophets .”
12:11 Is there idolatry in Gilead ? Certainly its inhabitants will come to nothing ! Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal ? Surely their altars will be like stones heaped up on a plowed field !
