“In the womb he took his brother by the heel, || And by his strength he was a prince with God,”— Hosea 12:3 (LSV)
1“Ephraim is enjoying wind, || And is pursuing an east wind, || All the day he multiplies lying and spoiling, || And they make a covenant with Asshur, || And oil is carried to Egypt.
2And YHWH has a controversy with Judah, || To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, || He returns to him according to his doings.
3In the womb he took his brother by the heel, || And by his strength he was a prince with God,
4Indeed, he is a prince to the Messenger, || And he overcomes [by] weeping, || And he makes supplication to Him, || At Bethel He finds him, || And there He speaks with us,
5Even YHWH, God of the Hosts, YHWH [is] His memorial.
6And you, through your God, turn, || Keep kindness and judgment, || And wait on your God continually.
