Hosea 12:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 The Lord has a dispute with Judah,
and will punish Jacob[a] for his conduct,
and repay him for his deeds.
4 In the womb he supplanted his brother,(A)
and in his vigor he contended with a divine being;
5 He contended with an angel and prevailed,(B)
he wept and entreated him.
At Bethel he met with him,
and there he spoke with him.(C)
