Hosea 12:2

God's Case Against Jacob's Heirs

¹ The people of Ephraim try to catch the wind and try to chase the east wind all day. They are very dishonest, violent and destructive. They make treaties with Assyria and take olive oil to Egypt. ² The Lord also has a dispute with Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
He will repay him according to his deeds.
³ Their ancestor Jacob held on to his brother's heel while the two of them were in their mother's womb. When Jacob became a man, he struggled with God.
