Hosea 12:3-6

Common English Bible

³ From the womb he tried to be the oldest of twin brothers;
        as an adult he struggled with God.
⁴ He struggled with the messenger and survived;
        he wept and sought his favor;
    he met him at Bethel,
        and there he spoke with him.
⁵ The Lord God of heavenly forces,
        the Lord is his name!
⁶ But you! Return to your God
        with faithful love and justice,
        and wait continually for your God.
