The prophet Hosea is speaking.

their altars will be like heaps of stone in the furrows of the fields

Many times altars were built out of stones. In this case, their piles of stones won't be altars but more of a hinderance for plowing. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

Jacob fled to the land of Aram; Israel worked in order to get a wife

In this case, "Jacob" and "Israel" are referring to a person and the same person. Jacob received a name change later in his life.
