In the womb he (A)took his brother by the heel,
And in his mature strength he (B)contended with God.
Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed;
He wept and (C)implored His favor.
He found Him at (D)Bethel,
And there He spoke with us,
And the Lord, the God of armies,
The Lord is His [a](E)name.
So as for you, (F)return to your God,
(G)Maintain [b]kindness and justice,
And (H)wait for your God continually.

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.
He met God at Bethel,
    and there God spoke with him[a]
the Lord the God of hosts,
    the Lord is his name:
“So you, by the help of your God, return,
    hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.”
