3 Even in the womb,Jacob struggled with his brother;when he became a man,he even fought with God.
4 Yes, he wrestled with the angel and won.He wept and pleaded for a blessing from him.There at Bethel he met God face to face,and God spoke to him—
5 the lord God of Heaven’s Armies,the lord is his name!
6 So now, come back to your God.Act with love and justice,and always depend on him.
7 But no, the people are like crafty merchantsselling from dishonest scales—they love to cheat.
8 Israel boasts, “I am rich!I’ve made a fortune all by myself!No one has caught me cheating!My record is spotless!”
9 “But I am the lord your God,who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.And I will make you live in tents again,as you do each year at the Festival of Shelters.
