Hosea 12:2-6
English Standard Version
The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah
2 (A)The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him according to his deeds.
3 (B)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.
(C)He met God[a] at Bethel,
and there God spoke with us—
5 the Lord, the God of hosts,
(D)the Lord is his memorial name:
6 “So you, (E)by the help of your God, return,
(F)hold fast to love and justice,
and wait continually for your God.”
