(A)In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
    and in his manhood he strove with God.
He strove with the angel and prevailed;
    he wept and sought his favor.
(B)He met God[a] at Bethel,
    and there God spoke with us—
the Lord, the God of hosts,
    (C)the Lord is his memorial name:
“So you, (D)by the help of your God, return,
    (E)hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.”
