He took his brother (A)by the heel in the womb,
And in his strength he (B)struggled with God.
Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in (C)Bethel,
And there He spoke to us—
That is, the Lord God of hosts.
The Lord is His (D)memorable name.
(E)So you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.

In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his [a]manhood he [b]had power with God: 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, [c]even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial name. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
