Hosea 12:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

1. Ephraim feeds on the wind; he pursues the east wind all day and multiplies lies and violence. He makes a treaty with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.

2. The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.

3. In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel; as a man he struggled with God.
