11 The people of Gilead are evil.They are worth nothing.People sacrifice bulls at Gilgal.But their altars will become likepiles of stone in a plowed field.
12 Your ancestor Jacob fled to Northwest Mesopotamia.There he worked to get a wife.He tended sheep to pay for her.
13 Later the Lord used a prophetto bring Jacob’s descendants out of Egypt.The Lord used a prophetto take care of the Israelites.
14 But the Israelites made the Lord angry.They killed other people.They deserve to die for their crimes.The Lord will make them payfor the disgraceful things they have done.
