Hosea 12:2-4

Common English Bible

² The Lord has a charge against Judah,
        and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
        and respond to him according to his deeds.
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.
