1 Ephraim feeds on wind And pursues the east wind continually; He abounds in falsehood and destruction. Moreover, he cuts a covenant with Assyria, And oil is carried to Egypt. 2 And Yahweh has a contention with Judah And will punish Jacob according to his ways; He will cause everything to return to him according to his deeds. 3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And in his maturity he wrestled with God. 4 Indeed, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed; He wept and sought His favor. He found Him at Bethel, And there He spoke with us, Hosea 12:1-4, Legacy Standard Bible. Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
