Hosea 12:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Ephraim chases the wind and pursues the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and violence.He makes a covenant with Assyria, and olive oil is carried to Egypt.

2. The Lord also has a dispute with Judah.He is about to punish Jacob according to his ways; He will repay him based on his actions.

3. In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and as an adult he wrestled with God.

4. Jacob struggled with the Angel and prevailed;he wept and sought His favor. He found him at Bethel, and there He spoke with him.

5. Yahweh is the God of Hosts;Yahweh is His name.
