The land of Gilead and their Idolatry
"Gilead ''a'' place ''that'' commit''s'' evil idolatry ''and is'' slippery ''with'' blood."

Can also be translated "...with footprints of blood".

This is my first translation, and I welcome any corrections of the more expert translators.

My commentary:
The land of Gilead is wrought with idolatrous sacrifices and this angers the Most High. His anger over idolatrous and lawless deeds is expressed in Hosea's oracle more than once.
