Hosea 12:2–9

[2] The LORD has an indictment against Judah

and will punish Jacob according to his ways;

he will repay him according to his deeds.

[3] In the womb he took his brother by the heel,

and in his manhood he strove with God.

[4] He strove with the angel and prevailed;

he wept and sought his favor.

He met God at Bethel,

and there God spoke with us—

[5] the LORD, the God of hosts,

the LORD is his memorial name:

[6] “So you, by the help of your God, return,

hold fast to love and justice,

and wait continually for your God.”

[7] A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,

he loves to oppress.

[8] Ephraim has said, “Ah, but I am rich;

I have found wealth for myself;

in all my labors they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”

[9] I am the LORD your God

from the land of Egypt;

I will again make you dwell in tents,

as in the days of the appointed feast.
