1 Ephraim chases the wind and pursues the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and violence.He makes a covenant with Assyria, and olive oil is carried to Egypt.
2 The Lord also has a dispute with Judah.He is about to punish Jacob according to his ways; He will repay him based on his actions.
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and as an adult he wrestled with God.
4 Jacob struggled with the Angel and prevailed;he wept and sought His favor. He found him at Bethel, and there He spoke with him.
5 Yahweh is the God of Hosts;Yahweh is His name.
