Hosea 12:3-6
Legacy Standard Bible
3 In the womb he (A)took his brother by the heel,
And in his maturity he [a](B)wrestled with God.
4 Indeed, he [b]wrestled with the angel and prevailed;
He wept and (C)sought His favor.
He found Him at (D)Bethel,
And there He spoke with us,
5 Even Yahweh, the God of hosts,
Yahweh is His [c](E)name of remembrance.
6 Therefore, (F)return to your God,
(G)Keep lovingkindness and justice,
And (H)hope in your God continually.

American Standard Version
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his [a]manhood he [b]had power with God: 4 yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us, 5 [c]even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial name. 6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
