Hosea

Uses the prophet's marriage as a symbol for Israel's unfaithfulness and God's faithful love.

Chapter 12

KJV - Hosea 12:11

Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

Is there wrongdoing in Gilead? Yes, they are foolish; they sacrifice large animals at an altar in Gilgal. These altars look like piles of stones in the grooves of farmland.
