Hosea 12
1
Ephraim feeds on wind,
2
The LORD also has a controversy with Judah,
3
In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
4
Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed;
5
even the LORD, the God of Armies.
6
Therefore turn to your God.
7
A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand.
8
Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich.
9
“But I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt.
10
I have also spoken to the prophets,
11
If Gilead is wicked,
12
Jacob fled into the country of Aram.
13
By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt,
14
Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.
